free of all its white petals
when he asked you if?

Hey Marjo,

I have a tweak for your second line..."of its white petals"

Otherwise, very nice!

i liked this. short and simple and very daisy-like.

I agree. Very nice.

I've read it aloud, as is and with Ariel's suggested change, and think it could work either way. Leaving "all" in stretches the line out a bit.
