Notes About The Poem

Had to get that last line in there.

How a Poem Becomes a Rose

It involves the complex and LACY development of
Petals as it curves it's words tender to touch.
A precious petal at a time.
It's DELICACY and charm  as it calms the
Foyer of CURIOUS  PEEPERS.
ITS UNMATCHED  PRESENCE only known 
By a chosen few.
Only then is the rose presented, balanced 
And new.
This is the fragile being of the
Nursery.
A ROSE IS many times composed
Of the most tender words.
The most  SOOTHING rhymes a 
Rose has told.
Wrapped in silky sonnet or vibrant prose
It is then a POEM BECOMES A.ROSE.
