Creeping Roses

Tender tendrils climb the wall Up towards the sky Past the latticed windows tall Clinging on from high. Then in springtime buds in red Pout with lips apart Inhibitions they all shed And seduce my heart. ---------------------------------- Contest: A 7/5 Trochee Sponsor: Andrea Dietrich Placed: 1st

Your luscious poetry 'seduces my heart' Paul :) Such impassioned poetic lines of beauty wrap their 'tender tendrils' of sensuous imagery around my imagination like a lovely hug. Love the title as well. Superb poetry, my friend. I'm going to have to fave this lustrous gem. Warmest wishes always.. ~Susan
