There is, I think, no beauty as the rose, Enchanted bloom, simplistic in its grace, Sweet fragrant scent, to senses does disclose, An angel's breath, enwrapped in satin lace. At birth of verdant spring, does rose appear, As tender bud, a promise sibylline, Of love portent, of velvet petals dear, Aglow in dawning's rays, a gem pristine. Come summer's sun, a scarlet splendor rare, Erupts in vestal glory full, ablaze, As Helen's beauty pales to rose so fair, In wond'rous awe, upon your bloom I gaze. O' beauteous rose, you are an evening's star, That fell to earth, to grace us from afar. [This message has been edited by Mike (edited 12-16-2000).] |

I can't decide which is more beautiful...a rose, or your poem depicting one. |

Mike~ You make me wish I was a Rose. This is so lovely. You've filled the crystal vase once more. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

It is wonderful when a gentle man can write of beauty such as this... Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

*sigh* your words caress the heart with the same softness of the petals you tell of here. *sigh* simply divine. Much love to you from me. http://www.geocities.com/karenltorbiak/index.html |

Thank you all so much for taking the time to read and respond to my poem. I have written a few rose sonnets and it is nice to see they are still enjoyed. Your comments are truly appreciated. Thank you again. |

How very unique - a sonnet to A ROSE! Very imaginative and beautiful choice of words. I really enjoyed this and I am printing out a copy for myself to keep Heck, even a sonnet to a tomato would be beautiful if you wrote it, you have a great talent, you should be very proud of this! I'm sure everyone desires to be that "rose" that you described ~Melissa~ The beauty of poetry gives my soul wings to fly free within dreams |

I particularly love the final couplet on this piece, Mike... I do think you could write a complete book of poetry about roses... Every one of your rose-poems has its own distinct aroma, ya know???...  |
