A Sonnet For the Endearing Rose

A gentle being, is the rose; though its nails can be quite sharp. The lovely flower, I suppose; controls the human heart. For valentines, it bleeds so red; for mother’s, yellow sun. All will bow their lovely heads; once their day is done. Their fragrance, it will mesmerize; all those who are near. It doesn't matter, what their size; lovers, they draw near. So much more regal than the rest; the rose, is nature’s family crest. 3-13-2021 ALL YOURS (Mar 14) Poetry Contest Brian Strand
