Sandra Haight Poet Couplet

Notes About The Poem

A Rose Is a Rose

A rose is a rose is a rose
And why is that?  I suppose...
Each one has smooth petals, a stem
Each one has green leaves, then again
Each one has a fragrant perfume
Each one opens wide in full bloom
Each one is a symbol of love...
Each one is a gift from above.

A rose is a rose is a rose
And why is that?  I suppose...
Deep russet, bright red, pink delight,
Cream, yellow, pure white to our sight...
Home-grown, cultivated, or wild
The fragrance, outstanding or mild
In garden, bouquet or a vase
Each rose is so sure to amaze.

Deep russet, bright red, pink delight
Cream, yellow, pure white to our sight...
A rose is a rose is a rose
No matter in what way it shows.

Genevieve Mika-Stevens August 31, 2015 at 10:45 AM Well - I've read three of your poems today and I love your poems and rhyme and I don't think there is much better...easy to understand, easy to read - but with much content and beautiful word choices- should you have the time please read "My Sweet Juliet Rose" - it's just a simple children's poem - but about a rose that I love ...

Andrea Dietrich August 13, 2015 at 3:18 PM wow, so is this what Catie is wanting from us. I need lots of examples because I am not quite sure what she expects. But i sure liked how YOU did it, Sandra. I always liked that expression "a rose is a rose" and I enjoyed how you built on that!!
