Rama Balasubramanian Poet Imagism

Rose

"Roses are exquisitely beautiful, that's why God gave them thorns"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Roses are majestic flowers, a beauty to behold
They come in variety of colours
Red, pink, yellow, white, orange, green, shaded and more
Blooms have a cluster of petals
Soft, tender and curved

It is a pleasure to watch a rose bloom
Tiny green buds appear
One has to look carefully to see them
Slowly they grow in size
Then green petal opens to reveal first glimpse of flower
Slowly flower blooms layer by layer 
It is beautiful to watch 

A full bloom  rose swaying in winds gives joy to eyes
It seems to be dancing blissfully

Roses are not merely symbols of love
They have many uses 
Roses are used to make tasty dishes and juices
In cosmetic and perfumes

Cut roses have long self life if properly cared
Bouquet of roses is an ideal gift for any occasion!
