Only One Rose Even though hot, as I sat, came a breeze. The trees softly swaying in dance. Wildflowers, sweet scents and roses in bloom, Waiting their pick, if by chance To be placed on buffet, with mirror behind, Reflections of beauty in red. Each time passing, thoughts rise in my mind Of the first time these eyes had been fed, With the bloom, one of love and the tenderness felt When petals had opened at last. Alone in it's holder of crystal and gold A picture of splendor, it cast. Just one lonely rose, so soft, yet intense, To share with my eyes, splendid view. Endearing and special when only one rose, Came delivered to me, just from you. M |

Maureen, this was AWESOME! I loved the rose imagery, and you told the story so well. The flow and rhyme are great too. Keep up the good work. I love roses, so naturally I'd be thrilled with any poem about them. If someone wants to make me happy, they should write me a poem! Thanks for sharing this! Elizabeth Why ME??? |
