THIS FLOWER DAILY I WALK THE GARDEN PATH THE SMELLS FAMILAR ITS LIFE UNCHANGING TODAY I PAUSE A DIFFERENCE BLOOMS I SEE THE SHAPE ITS BEAUTY SMILES DRAWN BY ITS TEMPTING FRAGRANCE I BREATH THE SWEETNESS OF ITS SCENT A POISON IT CONSUMES MY SOUL MY LEGS WEAK I LEAVE ITS BEAUTY DAILY I RISK ITS SWEET AROMA THE GARDEN IS CHANGED FAMILAR GONE STILL AROUND THE FLOWERS GROW I SEE ONLY ONE WILL I UNDERSTAND ITS POWER THIS FLOWER .... THE ROSE. James Parker Haley DEC 12, 1989 |

Could your rose be symbolic of passion? Of power? Of love? Of earthly "treasures"? This poem is potent, no matter what the source of the tempting fragrance. Very nice!  Claire |

Lorelei, Paul, whiskey, Meadowmuse, nate, Seymour... thanks for your comments. As the poet here and not really talking to other poets about my poems before. I'm not really sure about what is prudent. Will it take away from your viewpoint if I tell you what it symbolizes to me. Please give me your input on this anybody..... James Parker |

Meadowmuse, To me it symbolizes life and our search for Love, we are all just flowers in the garden... and in this love story "Only the Rose" tells the ending. James (Parker) |
