Flowers are quite well written
In poems from ages old,
by poets who-- love-smitten--
Cast beauty in a mold.

By framing floral figures,
poets have worn the ways
of flowers--colorful demurs
roughening the course by day.

Now no longer does the poet,
Use the flowers- the cliche
of the old- as he knows it,
its beauty gone away.

Yet by the morning sun,
if then a poet does see,
a rosy cheek-- then none
can hide its true beauty.

Inside a flower of mine,
a place unmarked by wear,
where is pure beauty-shine,
And this is thee, my Claire.

Hehe, I wrote this poem for a friend this morning because she was feeling in the blues. I hope it cheered her up.

This is strikingly lovely...
and I hope your poet friend
cherishes it as it should be...

Certain to have the effect of the morning rose. Really liked the imagery.
