Why

WHY? Red red roses Bushes overflowing The reds come first Why not pink or white? I’ve no way of knowing Dear someone please - One sensitive to nature’s ways - Why do reds come first? Why not pink or white? I’ve pondered this for days Speculated every since I beheld that overwhelming crowd Of big red red roses Gathered atop our grown-wild bush Glistening in the morning sun Dewy-faced and proud

Hey Daver! The red are rich and intense, but the white and pink are equally as beautiful. The red do seem to stand out as being "Dewy-faced and proud". This is a lovely write, Daver!!! Best wishes, Love, Mikki
