"Wild and windblown, that's how you've grown. Who can cling to a ramblin' rose?" Lyric written by Nat King Cole Moving on, never still, You have a restless will. Always searching for something more. Never sure what’s in store. Is there nothing more ? Always on the move. Are you looking to improve? You just cant settle. You’re perfect now, each soft petal. Is there something more? Its true you have a wanderlust. Travelling around for you is a must. Never sure where you will go. I want you to know. You bring splendor wherever you grow. Your scent wafts with the breeze. Who do you travel to please? All the colors in a rainbow. Always your beauty on show. Do you want more? Climbing yonder tree, even after its death. Soft as a baby’s breath. Sweeping across the ground. A place to remain, have you found ? Is there any more ? You have stretched out as far as I can see. Don’t go too far, come back to me. Ramble on, strike a pose. I will always love you, my rambling rose. There’s no more.

Fascinating form and impressive write dear friend. I always like that song, too. I have always been a wanderer, and a wonderer. ;) I think the two may go hand in hand. ;) Congratulations! :)

Wanderlust is inherent in most of us. Life is an onward journey.... moving on. It never stops... the desire to improve makes our ramblings meaningful. Congratulations on your well-deserved first place, dear Wen.

Good day my lovely. This is such a wonderful quatrain to read that’s as delicate as the rose petals. I love the formatting as it’s very effective and gives the sense of rambling and also restlessness. You’ve achieved that well my creative, talented friend. I love all the deep questions posed here. The very pretty picture pairs well with the image of the rose in pursuit of something or nothing? I love the restless soul that you have created here - a soul that hasn’t quenched its thirst yet of

Such beautiful words you have used Chris. One of my Mum's favourite singers was Nat King Cole. She played his records a lot. I think Ramblin Rose was my favourite. Who will love you with a love true, when you're ramblin , days are gone. Thank you for your lovely comment. Best wishes Wen.
