 ~*~ My Last Red Rose Of Summer ~*~Oh what love she brings to me as summer’s glory displays the last before the chorus of winter’s song.  Seeing her, tenderly warmed me, melting the early morning's frost 'til the sun's rays fell on my heart. She spins a web around my soul, preparing me for the going, giving death grace to mine eyes alone. Chickadees sing in trees blown bare, as nature's pleading messengers of an exquisite summer’s end. What love does she bring to me while flowers bloom their last, as I watch with wonder and wait. This beauty, my last rose of summer*, how she warms my very heart and soul, and prepares me for winter's chill. * * * *personal photo midi: "Last Rose Of Summer - Justin Holland ~I always have time to listen to someone talking from their heart~ [This message has been edited by Mysteria (edited 10-05-2001).] |

Mysteria~ Nice tribute to the red rose~ My  daughter-in-law and I were looking at poetry on the site yesterday ...She thought the rose was a silk one and wanted me to ask you if you grew it or if it's a photo of a silk one~ I told her that I'd ask. If it is real, she wants to know it's botanical name. She's my little 'green-thumber' and grows some spectacular roses. *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Mysteria, There is a saddening when beauty leaves us. But a new and wonderful color approaches. Very pretty write. Poetic verse nestled in the warmth of my heart, reveals the sweet yearnings of my soul.... |

I am glad you enjoyed this one, and Marge when I get back home I will look for you and send the name in email for her. It is red/orange actually, not like the picture turned out. That was the last bud one, and I picked it! ~I always have time to listen to someone talking from their heart~ |
