As you have now introduced pawns, I am immediately drawn to some chess-allusion/funny-haha. Presumably, Queens Gambit Declined? In any event, giving away your pawns in a nonchalant fashion is a recipe for disaster. I recall a description of Alekhine's Defence, as being to lure the opponent's pawns forward, but with the cautionary note, that unless played carefully, there was every chance the pawns would carry on and swamp you. Not really relevant, unless you draw from it, as I did, a sense of 'peur de vie'.
I, like Mark, or Ava as he was known for a while, had a problem with your buds and petals. I cannot think of a way in which this makes sense, since buds precede flowers, and flowers produce petals. Yet the line seemed so good; so on the one hand, as always, I should like it to make sense to me, on behalf of Everyman, but on the other--it's just nice. As you may have noted, I am a crap critic.
