Lavender Roses

leading to our room. . . fragrant petals you had strewn lavender roses whose hue was that of the sky when passion first bloomed for us. lavender roses - your anniversary gift for our fortieth . . . where the path of blossoms ends. . . we recreate fantasies. for topic: love and the progress of love affairs in the "One or Two Tanka -" Poetry Contest of Rick Parise

Thank you for your comments Andrea. No I haven't seemed to be able to set down and write or read. I am having eye trouble. I am doctoring and they say it is treatable but my eyes are not working together very well. You on the other hand are still going great guns. Congratulations and thanks. Love, Joyce

congrats on your win andrea, I remember this one from when I was reading the entries and I noted it as being one of the best; I like the way you made it personal rather than merely describing the roses :)

You look so young, is this poem about you? If it is it appears love has rejuvenate powers. I enjoyed your Tanka.

This is wonderful, and congratulations for so many years. You must have married at a young age which makes this so much more special. These things are much more important than trinkets!
