The meaning of a rose |

The meaning of a rose I eyed a rose embraced its stem A peerless treasured velvet sheer To make of it a diadem. An emblem for a lovely ear. Cut, dethorned below the bell I held it with an empathy Honey sweet with heavens smell Its beauty held my sympathy. A petaled gem condemned to die Majestic beauty held in sway A bit of hedonistic ply From ancient past until today. A give away, cut with a knife A symbols tell, an offered spell A sacrifice of life to life Beauty tossed into a well. Placed on cupids bow and arrow Dipped in a loves adagio. |

Very beautiful, Sy! (how ironic, too, as I sit here looking at the dead roses my husband gave me almost a week ago....hehehe...well they weren't dead when he gave them to me but they didn't last too long!) Welcome to the Pub! So nice to see you here! Denise |

Yes, it's so nice to see Sy in the Pub. Denise, we'll have two hot chocolates please! And incidentally, I love the roses on the tables. Lovely poem, Sy, sorry I got distracted Liz |

Seymour, an excellently written poem on the many sides of a rose. A rose is a rose is a rose. A petaled gem condemned to die Majestic beauty held in sway A bit of hedonistic ply From ancient past until today. A give away, cut with a knife A symbols tell, an offered spell A sacrifice of life to life Beauty tossed into a well. "I am melancholy, flower cutting through stone" manic street preachers |
