A rose is a rose is a rose And why is that? I suppose... Each one has smooth petals, a stem Each one has green leaves, then again Each one has a fragrant perfume Each one opens wide in full bloom Each one is a symbol of love... Each one is a gift from above. A rose is a rose is a rose And why is that? I suppose... Deep russet, bright red, pink delight, Cream, yellow, pure white to our sight... Home-grown, cultivated, or wild The fragrance, outstanding or mild In garden, bouquet or a vase Each rose is so sure to amaze. Deep russet, bright red, pink delight Cream, yellow, pure white to our sight... A rose is a rose is a rose No matter in what way it shows. August 13, 2015 Contest: Rose Poetry Contest Sponsor: Robert James Liguori

Well - I've read three of your poems today and I love your poems and rhyme and I don't think there is much better...easy to understand, easy to read - but with much content and beautiful word choices- should you have the time please read "My Sweet Juliet Rose" - it's just a simple children's poem - but about a rose that I love ...

wow, so is this what Catie is wanting from us. I need lots of examples because I am not quite sure what she expects. But i sure liked how YOU did it, Sandra. I always liked that expression "a rose is a rose" and I enjoyed how you built on that!!
