Edwardj Clark Poet Rhyme

My English Rose

My English Rose is delicately balanced
Between life and death.
My English Rose, so finely fragranced,
Sweet scented breath.

Once rich in blossom, vigorous fellow;
Beguiling antiquity.
Gentle to the touch, soft as pillow.
Un-defiling  purity.

Evelyn's beauty an array of splendid
Peach, and apricot cream.
Summer's Song betrothed to Mid-
Summers Night Dream.

And Young Lycidas, Milton's Edward,
King of all roses he
Bequeathed to memory, to seas shard.
His remains a mystery.

Richard Jordan June 5, 2015 at 11:52 AM You have a classic sense of poetry that I like very much. I hope you write many more! Edwardj Clark June 5, 2015 at 1:05 PM Hi Richard, thank you for your kind comment. Never thought i'd have a classic sense of poetry so thanks again. As you are aware, we all have the gift of poetry and with that gift different styles.
