I Am a Red Rose

Regardless of the scene, I, determined to stand tall Wavering, bending slightly on breaths of breeze Allowing pertness to show flaunting to thrall My stem of strength tipped enlightening please Petals prom in blood red, they peak to bloom My curves of delight like silken sheets, splayed Undulations tremble as they beautifully plume Such an attraction so joyous in hungered display Let my scents lure, tickle those nature tongues Taste my nectar becoming entranced by I For every dawn allures my stem to sprung In stance I'm proud as wanting eyes espy I, the garden jewel, the prime delicate Rose Swelling whenever I'm warmed, boy see me grow . The beautiful Red Rose - meaning Passion & Love.

Hello James, I'm old sonnet guy myself. This is truly a really nice write. Your clever use of imagery and the timing of the certain words you use here are quite captivating and compelling. And the closing couplet brings a positive conclusion for sure. Very Well-Done!! A "7" and a FAV!! Best Always, Gary

Hi Gary, I quite like the Sonnet Form myself, although I'm no master, but I like rhyme. I enjoyed writing this poem to be honest, and smiling that it turned out the way it did. I did have a slight input from a fellow Poetess which made it that little bit better. Many thanks for enjoying said poem, and favouring it. Blessed evening to you, smiles, James :) :)
