Just to start you off folks.....

A Rose

A tear falls, a rose shall grow
It blooms for all the world to show.
Its cherished like a precious jewel,
Never knowing how life can be so cruel.

Aroma like nectar, exotic sweet,
For all our lives we wish to keep.
But like life, withers this bloom,
It comes and goes all too soon.

The petals fall like falling leaves
For its passing the heart grieves
Thorns left to show another side
Of the rose, and its pride…

Sorry for delay Alan hope you like this one. Be Lucky. Brian.

A ROSE

A rose, by any other name, would smell as sweet.
It has been said - a statement hard to beat.
But when I gaze upon this glorious bloom,
I know, that honestly there’s room,
to call it, by a many different name,
Mary, June or Sally and many others, all the same.
This picture indicates to those
who know and recognize, The Perfect English Rose,
which in “Dan Cupid’s” garden grew,
and pleased the eye – of me and you.

Soak up the summer sun

It's red, you know, red
and sits in a crystal vase
on the window sill. It looks
out to where siblings
bounce on long stems
in the garden, midday sun
casting black blooms
to the ground. It will fall
petal by petal
to the white paint below
and the sisters
will nodd
as if they knew.

Well, here it is... :beaming

A Rose…

she’s blushing in my daddy’s garden
ruby red and opened wide…
this luscious Lady
ripe and blooming
in her unique lovely pride…

he’s standing by her
smiling gently
like the little boy he’s been…
and together they look sweeter
than each pair my eyes have seen…
