Flower Girl

A new nursery rhyme, resembling those of the 18th Century.

Flower Girl

 

Flower girl, flower girl,

Eyes bright, and cheeks rosy,

Flower girl, flower girl,

Sell me a posy.

 

Flower girl, flower girl,

Hair of brown, and eyes blue,

Flower girl, flower girl,

I’ll even buy two!

i like the rhyming of the words and the simplicity of the poem in terms of words and content.

Thank you, Sette! I'm really pleased that you enjoyed it!

Again, right on the money, Debbie. Feels very like ones that might have been around possibly even as late as the early 20th century (A A Milne 'When we were very young' has poems very similar to this). Nice work!

Thank you, Nigel! I'm so pleased that you enjoyed it, and that it had the right feel for you! I'm working on a second little volume of original nursery rhymes, including these.

Mission accomplished. It does remind me of Ring Around The Rosie.
