The important thing it is not what you think of the rose, nor of what the rose thinks of you, the important thing it is what you think of yourself when you are close to the rose . [This message has been edited by 2islander2 (04-18-2009 11:24 AM).] |

A most thought-provoking poem, but I beg to differ. It is always what you think of the rose that is important....always. I yield to the roses's thoughts on me. |

Hello Osprey, thanks for the pertinent comment,we can consider that the rose think of what you think so you are right what matter is what you think of her...But I think it can't last and at a certain point you have to think of yourself..I hope not being too much confusing. My poem took a position but I effectively know that one position can't stand forever...However thank you for the kind comment. regards yann |

Very poignant. People are like that too. If that is the way you were using it...Nice metaphor. |

Hi Yann, Lovely this, so very true it’s always good to consider and view things in different perspectives. Great minds always differ from common ways that’s why they were unique and great.  |

Interesting thought, yann, and I must say, I agree. You gave the rose something to think about. Ida |

This reminds me of something I read about the measure of love not being how you feel about the person... but how you feel about yourself when you're with them. *S* I like it very much! *S* |

Cela me fait penser (et penser que oui!) et j'aime tellement penser! Il me semble que le petit prince d'Antoine de Saint Exupéry serait d'accord avec nous. L'Hibou |

merci beaucoup Owl (je préfère le mot anglais) pour ton commentaire sur saint exupery, cet écrivain est un de ceux que j'admire le plus et je pense qu'il a écrit aussi sur la rose dans le petit prince, je vérifierais, en tout cas il m'a bien inspiré... amitiés yann |

Oui, tu as raison. Il a bien écrit de cet chère amie du petit prince. Il y a tant de philosophie magnifique dans ce livre admirable dont je me souviens très souvent. Si je me souviens bien, la leçon que la rose a donnée, c’est que toutes les roses se ressemblent, jusqu’àu moment où on rencontre une rose et cette rose devient son amie, et immédiatement devient différente de toutes les autres roses. C’était le style délicieux de ton beau poème qui m’a fait penser à la rose de Saint Exupéry. Owl |

Thanks a lot steavenr, I am glad you appreciated the poem, I agree with you that there is matter of reflection. We have to be reasonnable sometimes and take distance with our own thoughts. have a great day. yann |
