A Rose in the Garden of Love

White rose blooms, a snowy heirloom,
tender flesh with a golden tinge.
‘Pon coneflower iron, with groom
‘Neath trellis, a harlequin binge.

Tender flesh, with a golden tinge,
Those pearly blossoms help her chill.
‘Neath trellis, a harlequin binge.
Her Summer buds, dressed to thrill.

Those pearly blossoms help her chill.
‘Pon coneflower iron, with groom,
Her Summer buds, dressed to thrill.
White rose blooms, a snowy heirloom.

Daniel Henry Rodgers Date: 3/4/2025 5:35:00 AM Dear Kim, What a beautifully woven carpet of elegance and romance. I kept thinking how the white rose, tender yet strong, captures both the delicate and enduring nature of love. I think your words bloom with grace, much like the garden you paint with each line a petal, unfolding with beauty. A truly enchanting piece!
