It lay on the street this symbol of love a single red rose broken and crushed I picked it up and petals cascaded from my hand All that was left was the thorny stem a few leaves and one red petal Sadly I held it wondering whose love was shattered and broken with the tossing of the rose |

Maybe... it slipped from a bundle of dozen, even a baker's dozen... in the hurried rush to reach a love... maybe, it was just lost... among the rush to hurry steps... |

Yes, there is a sense of sadness in a flower on the floor, but it had its moment of glory when it was deemed beautiful enough to be chosen for someone ... Profound. Love, Margherita |

Most people would just walk on by and never have given it a thought. Only one with an observant eye and a poetic soul could have written this poem.  EA |

Thank you for reading!! I'm very interested in the different views of why the rose was left on the ground.  |

aww . . . you see from so many perpsectives, this made me think not only of what ensued with the tossing of the rose, but how many would be grateful to even receive a rose. Beautiful, Sharon |

Maybe it wasn't tossed... maybe it was placed there carefully... in that one spot where their eyes connected... when they knew that they'd found THE ONE... But the rushing crowds crush their commemoration... And maybe the scent of those crushed petals makes another pause... and connect with loving eyes... And... can you tell I live in a fantasy world? *G* Beautiful write, dear lady... hope you don't mind the speculations. *G* |
