Share A Rose
~*Marge Tindal*~

~Share a rose
soft petals of thought
velvet to the touch of hands
Beware the thorny of the prick
when held too tightly and too quick
For in the bloom of fragrant blend
the need to pluck comes to an end
When one squeezes just too tight
feeling sharp sting stem-in-bite
The beauty of it all you see
is simply knowing when
to let it be~

~*When the heart grieves over what it has lost,
the spirit rejoices over what it has left.

Marge...Love the poem and the ball shape.

Hold it gentle in your grasp do not crush
Tender petals just like our heart soft to the touch
Flowers of love expressed in need
Thorny prick leaves our hearts to bleed

Marge ~~ so much of life mimics these beautiful words. I am always enthralled by the shape poems you write. One day I'll figure out how to do it!!

There is a trick to that I am sure...knowing when to let it be. I just haven't discovered a universal answer...guess I never will.

This is a wonderful write, Marge. You got me thinking.

Dear Marge: Beautifully done! I never can work around my roses without getting a prick or two, no matter how careful I am.
They are worth it however!

Marge - I love the rose, nothing as sweet and romantic as one, except perhaps a magnolia blossom, or ....
