I dwell within myself like a folded red rose, lost in serene tranquility of the gallery; and I roam the many rooms of art- a girl alone, among the glow of the old masters; with color pigments and brush strokes beautiful, and painted images and scenes inspirational. ________________ August 3, 2021 Poetry/Verse/like a folded red rose Copyright Protected, ID 08-1378-474-03 All Rights Reserved, 2021, Constance La France Written for the Standard contest Bite Size Poem No. 16 sponsor, Line Gauthier, Judged 08/08/2021 Second Place

This isn't the first of your poems that I've read Constance that references an art gallery and that deals with the theme of loneliness. It's beautifully written and I can see and feel the 'glow' of colours you describe.
