The Beauty of a Rose Sweet goddess of the petalled realm With velvet petticoats of red Awakens with the morning sun And shows her skirts in flower bed Why so intriguing no one knows That is the beauty of a rose Sweet cooing of the mourning dove At dawn her songs so mesmerize She croons a song from in the eaves That sounds of lovers lullabies Descending soft from up above That is the cooing of the dove Sweet teardrops sit on leaf and blade Small crystal balls of morning mist Til sun embraces with its warmth And melts them with a loving kiss As fresh and pure as words from you That is the splendor of the dew Sweet beauty of a crimson rose Sweet cooing of a mourning dove Sweet teardrops in the morning mist That is the splendor of our love Soft lovely wet of morning dew That is a tender kiss from you Elizabeth Santos [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (edited 01-20-2000).] |

Frustration is probably the wrong feeling to have right now, but I can't help it!!! Why can't I write as good as you, or portray emotions as well?! sigh... Beautiful poem, truly great piece.  Little Spyro T. Dragon [This message has been edited by Little_Spyro (edited 01-21-2000).] |

I found this breath taking.. Very well done.. MAY THE ROAD RISE TO MEET YOU, MAY THE WIND BE ALWAYS AT YOUR BACK MAY THE SUN SHINE UPON YOUR FACE THE RAINS FALL SOFT UPON YOUR FIELDS AND, UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN, MAY GOD HOLD YOU IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND Irish Blessing |

Wow, look at what you can find when you dig around a little...I think I'm going to become an archive-searcher. This was breathtakingly beautiful, Elizabeth. I wish I could express how it made me feel. Elizabeth I'm grabbing my hat and coat I'm leaving the cat a note Quick call me a ferry boat-getting out of town! |

Count me in as well, Lynne. hehe, This is so beautiful. I like poems involving roses - the most lovely flower in this whole world - James The beauty of nature is displayed, not through itself, but through the creatures dwelling within its bosom. |

A rose is a rose is a rose, maybe so but I know one thing for certain your poem was truely beauty. why must we pray screaming? why must not death be redefined? we shut our eyes we stretch out our arms and whirl on a pane of glass-patti smith |

Oh, Elizabeth~ What a beauty to find unfolding ... this crimson rose is exquisite. Somehow I missed this little gem ... I'm so glad someone dug in the garden. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |
