James Fraser Poet Sonnet

I Am a Red Rose

Regardless of the scene, I, determined to stand tall
Wavering, bending slightly on breaths of breeze
Allowing pertness to show flaunting to thrall
My stem of strength tipped enlightening please

Petals prom in blood red, they peak to bloom
My curves of delight like silken sheets, splayed
Undulations tremble as they beautifully plume
Such an attraction so joyous in hungered display

Let my scents lure, tickle those nature tongues
Taste my nectar becoming entranced by I
For every dawn allures my stem to sprung
In stance I'm proud as wanting eyes espy

I, the garden jewel, the prime delicate Rose
Swelling whenever I'm warmed, boy see me grow




.
The beautiful Red Rose - meaning Passion & Love.

Gary Bateman May 3, 2015 at 5:17 PM Hello James, I'm old sonnet guy myself. This is truly a really nice write. Your clever use of imagery and the timing of the certain words you use here are quite captivating and compelling. And the closing couplet brings a positive conclusion for sure. Very Well-Done!! A "7" and a FAV!! Best Always, Gary James Fraser May 3, 2015 at 6:58 PM Hi Gary, I quite like the Sonnet Form myself, although I'm no master, but I like rhyme. I enjoyed writing this poem to be honest, and smiling that it turned out the way it did. I did have a slight input from a fellow Poetess which made it that little bit better. Many thanks for enjoying said poem, and favouring it. Blessed evening to you, smiles, James :) :)
