Love is like a flower

[joesammsington]

I don't know what you're going on about with the second quatrain. It was free of grammatical errors and the syntax looked fine to me. Also, one does, in fact, reminisce of things. You could say "about", but it doesn't quite roll off the tongue.

Yes...I agree. You DON'T know what I am going on about...but you will now feel very silly when I correct your use of the word "reminisce". It is "reminiscent OF" but one "reminisces ABOUT".
Best,

Just as you can think "OF" something and think "ABOUT" something, you can reminisce "OF" something and reminisce "ABOUT" something. Are you thick? They are interchangeable and your haughty attitude is making YOU look silly, not me.
"I reminisced of times past", sound far better than "I reminisced about times past". Both sentences are grammatically correct, but one sounds better than the other. As a side note, please stop writing in bold. It reads as though you're screaming like Adolf Hitler in one of his speeches.
