Notes About The Poem

6/13/2025 for Fulcrum Of A Lever Poetry Contest sponsored by Unseeking Seeker

Fulcrum of a Rose

The rose is a common flower,
and sometimes goes unnoticed -
when our attention is remotest.
But, a rose has a special power. 

Being a blossom that is clever,
she garners our attention
with affectionate intention, 
using fragrance as a lever. 

Sometimes, we, too, miss people here.
Our soul warns, when we drift from shore,
not to forgot what we are here for.
It's voice, a lever, for those held dear. 

What is the fulcrum that we can't see,
that makes these caring levers work?
I do not understand nature's quirk -
It's a beautiful mystery.
