Imagism
A type of poetry that uses clear and direct statements in order to put an exact picture in the reader's head. A poem that is written using the imagism style should easily and quickly create visual images that tell the story.

In my heart and soul; time stores a vision of me clutching a fragrant white rose, floral and fresh, with delicate undertones of wine, berry, plum, and cloves. Its aroma, juxtaposed with the presence of death, imprinted that alabaster rose upon my mind. And I can still recall the sensual feel of its velvet petals softly brushing my cheek, evoking memories of mom that brings both, a smile to my heart, and a tear to my eye. I had squeezed its thorns so hard, a trickle of scarlet drops silently ran unnoticed down my trembling hand, pooling at my crimson dribbling fingertips. And I placed that bleeding rose on a mound of earth, focusing on its beauty as I said goodbye to an angel, the woman who bore me, my mom.

Well, after reading your incredible tribute to your mom and how you framed it with the exquisite rose, I think I should withdraw my paltry effort! Such fine work, Emile.
