a dozen roses
removing sharp thorns from stem

we cry in the night.
Its not the love you fear ...
its the fall from the height.

How very clever. I like the picture
And so much said in a tiny amount of words.

My friend was right. There is a lot of really good writing here.

Best wishes
Rosemary

Welcome, Julian!
Nice to have you here.
Your first entry suggest the minimalist's approach. You will not be alone. (I use it often myself.)

A rose by any other name is still a rose - very lovely!

Indeed, both bitter flows and sweet. I can't remember who said that (was it Shakespeare?) but it certainly would apply to this striking first poem. Welcome to Passions, Julian.

Welcome to this wonderful little corner of heaven.. your presence brightens my half of the room always. I enjoyed this first poem and look forward to many more, my friend.


Be blessed!

What a very nice welcome. A heartfelt "thank you" to all who stopped to read and comment. The poets here, from what I can tell, are pure cream and very talented.
