Rewrite Repost:


My Blue Rose

My glories on a tender stem
This purpose I pursue.
A crown of thorns is diadem
Its majesty shows blue.

It vacillates from whim to whim
Its roots no common soil
It thinks my adjuration dim
And I, a foolish foil

I cannot help this love I bare.
These minions of reveal
I cannot hide this heart of care.
Nor can I bare conceal.

It has a will of ceaseless tease.
It titers at its mark
Impossible to make appease
The mark is moonless dark.

I would it stop this endless broil
And set the pot to flame and boil.

I am glad you reposted this. It's lovely, "diadem" reminds me of a song we sang in grade school.  What that has to do with the poem I don't know!
But I enjoyed it very much.

Maybe someday SY, very nice.  They just tease our senses just staying out of reach, don't they??

Oh, if only we could just stare at the water in the pot and concentrate hard enough ... but unfortunately, getting it to boil that way never seems to work.  But sometimes all it takes is time.  Or maybe a different pot will suddenly start simmering.  Wonderfully written, Seymour.  You rock!

This poem is awesome! I got a little confused with "diadem" too...were you saying a royal crown is just a crown? The line still read well, however, so I'm not suggesting you change this at all...*claps* bravo!
