Forget me not
While I am here,
Tho when I’m gone
Know I inclined
To be far more
Than but a figment
On your mind…
Forget me when
Any trace
Of an embrace,
Seems to vanish
In the hazy mist,
Of a last kiss…
Forget me then
As so you must,
To thus so reason
I’m out of season,
But forget me not
For just a bit,
That you find fit,
To deem recall
My once the while,
Repentant smile!
Poetry on a Canapé 
À poem not to be forgotten
With or without the help of pulling the petals from that proverbial flower? It being the Myosotis, genus of the the Boraginaceae family, better known as Forget me nots, calqued from the French, ne m’oubliez pas. Thank you for bringing to mind the game we as kids once played with that pretty flower, forget me, forget me not, with each petal pulled. Jean-Jacques Fournier
