My Flower

roses are red this is true 
but they are also blue
white, black, and lilac too
many colors just for you

and if our love is a rose
then you are the flower
blooming in every hour 
perfection from head to toes

so like a rose love will grow
This I will always know
care for the seeds we sow
so a harvest we will tow 

and if you are the flower
then I will be the thorn
to your protection sworn
with all my might and power

you are so full of kindness
you are my happiness 
a cure for loneliness 
you hold a special fondness 

i hope you never forget 
we both are many things
seeing what each day brings
but in stone our love is set

Ruth,, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@

Thank you, Linda. I'm always up for criticism and looking for ways to improve as a poet. I will go read some of your poems as well and tell you what I think. I'll also check out the contest page and see if anything interests me. I look forward to being friends and feel lucky to be in such a welcoming community. -Ruth-
