Bloom, spring's rose,
expel this dread,
before the seeds of war
can flower!

interesting... not sure I follow the image to conclusion... expelling dread before the flower of war... but it does create an interesting read and leave one to ponder...

CpatHair, Thanks for the feedback!  I tend roses which, in a couple of weeks, post prune, will begin to bloom.  It's amazing how they can take my mind off life's miseries! Just trying to express my looking forward to that day...that's all.

Roses are always a good influence. It could be beauty, nature or love in reference. I really liked this.

Nancy, Peace roses are my favorite of all the roses......
Yellow with a pinkesh touch, right? I used to have such
a big bush of them, they looked like a rose tree. Full of blooms.....
until my deceased husband killed the bush by trying to cut
it back at the wrong time of year....
It was beautiful while it lived, though...

Garysgirl,  Soon I'll have roses enough for everyone!  

PS  I'm sure I could dig up a few (poems) that would leave you wanting!
