Lovely is
...first rose of spring,
beauteous bloom
...of nature's bring,
From frailest stem
...thou wond'rous form,
blossoms 'neath,
...Lord Helios' warm,
Filling with
...thy fragrant scent,
as nature's jewel
...from heaven sent,
Within thy petals,
...secrets borne,
protected by
...thy piercing thorn,
As God above
...on us bestows,
Perfection of
...springtime's first rose.

Mike...this is so grand. Spill some more dew from your pen.

Through my cloud.
Touch my secret parts
Where only you are allowed. - Joyce Rogers

This is perfection.
A fragrantly sweet offering.

Oh this was lovely, and I am "waiting" for that first rose, and am out there looking with anticipation every day!

What a wonderful write, Mike. The rose is indeed a beautiful flower.

Wow, this is just written for me, thank you.
The first rose in my garden to bloom is the Canary Bird, a wild Chinese rose, than comes Pimpinellifolia and after that all the other over 200 roses begin. In a few weeks it's paradise, and they all smell, by that time I feel like I'm in heaven.

So thank you dearly for your poem.

You make it seem so easy, Mike. This is just perfectly penned--love your work--but you probably know that by now!

(I study YOU yanno!

) More admiration from me.

I love poems about roses, and one written by you, of course, could only be exquisite
