L Milton Hankins Poet Quintain (Sicilian)

A Beautiful Poem

I liken a beautiful poem to a sweet-smelling rose
Somehow it roots in the heart, and there it stays,
Word to word, line by line --  it rhythmically grows
Like the tall rose vine in the gentle wind, it sways
Slowly, but surely, it encourages emotional flows.
