Petals of the White Rose Dreaming by the morning moon protected in a tight cocoon so pale in the gloom Petals of the white rose Stretching at the sun light smiles reflecting on its dew drop tiles a glow that’s seen for miles The waking of the white rose Delicate as the summer breeze pearly white of royal genes a queen within the garden green the blooming of the white rose Soft as love you give it when hearts should touch a frail friend before the gift of life might end The message of the white rose As we cry these tender woes and say goodbye to them we know they'll fly wherever spirits go On petals of a soft white rose. Parker (c) Feb 13, 2000 [This message has been edited by Haleyja (edited 03-03-2000).] |

Parker- Breathtakingly lovely ! You have held in your hand the beauty of the white, white rose and in your heart a sorrow. One will n'er bloom again, and one will bloom tomorrow. Something so lovely from the garden, carrying freshness on it's bloom. Sadly given to one in repose ... the petals of the white, white rose. Sent with spirits to that land where nevermore we hold their hand. Landing softly, I would suppose, the petals of the white, white rose. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Poet deVine, thank you, I was hoping it would have a pleasing and pretty image. INclan, thank you. The progressing through time was luck. Corinne, No, But I'm happy and I have friends. Though sometimes I'll look into stars at night and an image will come to mine.  devina, thank you sweet. I'm not up on all the short forms or symbols here, but what does @~~'~~,~~ mean. Marge, thank you so much for that poem. ... if there is a flower on this earth that smells of life with its very birth Its just a dream, if you want to know, cause none can beat the blooming rose. Parker |

James, this is beautiful. Your poems have a way of touching my heart, oh to find a man that's half as romantic *sigh*  I have a star up there named "Julie's hopes and dreams" you are welcome to wish on it!! I'll do my best! ~Julie~ |
