Eve Roper Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

 

Carnation

With a slight glow of early morning sunlight

a single flower-bud unfolds bright

from its green protective wrap 

to serrated knap

revealing

soft pink 

appealing 

velvet petals of

a carnation, Mother's Love 

with a fresh spicy clove-like perfume

coursing through benignly and at last, consume
