Roses

The Rose is the ultimate floral Queen! A radiant beauty. Colourful blooms. A feature of any idyllic scene. Some live in gardens, others brighten rooms. Delicate. Precious to the beholder. A symbol of affection in romance. Nestled in a lapel 'neath a shoulder For a wedding, a funeral, a dance. Appreciate their glory. Sing their song! A sweet aroma have some, others none. Don't take them for granted. They don't stay long. Suddenly they season out and are gone! Spiky leaves and petals tender, Grace our vision with their splendor. Written 17th September 2022 (My first Sonnet)

Thank you, Jeanette :-) trying out different forms, not as easy as they look some of them. But it's progress and it's learning.
