untonuggan: pink tulips (tulips)

I like that the first word has multiple meanings, because when I first read it I read it as "to bow"...so even though it took me a moment to readjust, I took that meaning with me. Then it made perfect sense in the context of the last four lines (as though the one who wrapped the present was taking a bow.) So that was pretty cool.

I really like this format, especially because I have trouble remembering the "rules" for a lot of formal poetry and when I'm out and about and want to sit down and write one I forget what I'm supposed to do. So this might be something I could try when I'm out in a coffee shop or something. Thanks for sharing!
