Description
"Each time I was swept off my feet, fell off the white horse, or was rescued by a new knight, I was inspired to write poetry. Although these writings spanned over twenty years, and were inspired by different men, they all seemed to describe one single person. You know the ones: they say and do just the right things to make you fall, and when you do, they flee. Thankfully, it doesn't take long before the next one picks you up, and sweeps you off of your feet again. And the cycle continues. As I arranged the poems, I was reminded of the Daisy Game, where you pluck the petals, one by one, saying "he loves me, he loves me not." With each petal, you pray that when you get to the last one, it will say "he loves me." Well, I hadn't realized that I had been playing the Daisy Game for years -- but without the props." This book is for you if: - You've found yourself dating the same man over and over - You're tired of the pluckin' cycle - You're ready to trade in your horizontal relationships for a vertical one I believe it's no accident that you picked up this book, right now, at this time in your life. As you read my story, if you see yourself in these pages, let this be the beginning of the end of your pluckin' cycle, and may you find true love, at last.
