Roses Are Red

Roses are red when they are fed
Romance and love unconditional 
Roses are black when death impacts
And grieve so deep and traditional 

Roses strike poses never camera shy
Insanity of their vanity is in bloom
Roses scents pierce noses in July
Inspired admired by butterflies in June

And why would a rose be jealous 
Why would a rose shrink or hide
It’s bloom is wonderfully zealous
A scent within that love resides

This is such a sweet poem about roses that are sweet themselves.

I love red roses and this write. But I love pink roses even more. A rose scent is lovely in any color of a rose. Have a blessed day writing away.............
