The Delicate Rose

The rose in bud is one of my favourite flowers.

Photos by author

I stepped outside to greet the dawn

As dewdrops glistened in the early morn,

And there beheld a tiny rose

Lying quietly in repose.

Its tender sepals curled in tight

Would soon burst forth in morning light,

To bathe in sunshine’s golden rays

Relishing the warmth of summer days.

Its bloom would open to the sky

Inviting bees as they fly by

With a heavenly scent we all could share

Filling the gently moving air.

But all too soon the leaves will fade

And petals shrivel in the shade

Then nature will take this glorious flower

Back unto its natal bower

Beautiful. We can not grow roses as we are sneezing and blowing our nose. BUt, they did throw roses on daddy’s coffin. He got the best.

Simply amazing!
Socorro Lawas on Aug 11, 2011
It’s a hautingly beautiful poem about my favorite flower, the rose. Roses are the only flowers that everybody under the sun is certain of knowing. They have thorns but aren’t the flowers so sweet? It’s a pity it’s life is so short, you find the flower genuflecting to the sun for more blossoms when day is done.Life is beautiful but short like the rose. …I love the subtle imagery you project in this poem. Good job!
PR Mace on Aug 12, 2011
