Dr.Ram Mehta Poet Tetractys

A Symbol of True Love - Win

Blue 
roses
don't exist
though the science trying
To change the DNA of roses to create blue.
I wait for that joyous day for rose world
till then make do
with white rose
dyeing it
blue.
The
one who
find blue rose
stands for true love
The legend tells us, will become the king

Kelly Deschler September 20, 2014 at 12:34 AM A blue rose would be beautiful to see. But I think it is kind of sad when scientists try to change something that is already so lovely, just the way it is!.... I enjoyed reading this nice poem, Dr. Ram. Congrats on the win!

Tim Smith September 13, 2014 at 8:05 PM I have pink and yellow in my garden...blue would be grand...congrats

John Freeman June 18, 2010 at 7:33 PM Sounds like a plan with the rose, Dr, Ram. Thanks for your comments today. Agape, Moses

Royal Trevino June 16, 2010 at 9:53 PM Unique this surely is, "hey, if I find the blue rose I shall be queen haha". Loved your entry for the contest. =(^.^)=Royal

Joyce Johnson June 16, 2010 at 8:14 PM Yes the blue rose doesn't exist as a species. And Garden Club rules forbid using one that is dyed. So we must wait for a real specimen. Thanks for your comments on my poem. Love, Joyce

James Marshall Goff June 16, 2010 at 7:28 PM perfect anticipation in a tight form! Doc! jimbo

Doris Culverhouse June 16, 2010 at 6:13 PM nice thoughts, I will have to find me a blue rose!! LOL

Amy Green June 16, 2010 at 4:24 PM You have soup mail, Doc

June 16, 2010 at 4:18 PM Creative use of this challenging form. Interesting perspective. Best wishes in the contest. Karen

Amy Green June 16, 2010 at 10:07 AM Very cool poem and perspective. Might you be the Doc who genetically splices the roses? What kind of Dr. are you anyways?

Caroline Cécile Delacroix June 16, 2010 at 9:40 AM Interesting write. Does a blue rose have thorns? I wonder. Good luck in the contest. And thank you for your kind comments on my latest. Caroline.

Carolyn Devonshire June 16, 2010 at 9:38 AM Very nicely expressed, Dr. Ram. Blue roses would need a change in DNA. My sister wrote a play about a woman who tried to cultivate a white marigold and your fine poem reminded me of this. Surely, if one were to find the blue rose, they would have quite a treasure! Well done and best wishes in Mac's contest! Love, Carolyn

Carrie Richards June 16, 2010 at 7:25 AM I love this unique twist to the contest!!! A scientist's point of view!! Terrific!! ~ Carrie

Andrea Dietrich June 16, 2010 at 7:00 AM I love that you defined it technically. the blue rose is unattainable love. Sharon also captures that in her sonnet. LUv, Andrea

James Peranteau June 16, 2010 at 6:30 AM Another of mans desires which cause me to fear ! Great write Sir ! james
