Long Stemming

love like in colour

                                                 a silk rose

                                           lasts but is not true

Fantastic Maureen. As a fellow Canadian sang, "love is a rose...".

Nicely done Maureen. I also loved your poetic response below: “There is some experience there, but more close to me than my own”.
