Roses For George Dunlope Lesie Contest

Roses you astound me with beauty
as i smell your wondrous scents
I stare at you blankly
thinking of past events

A rose you gave me
to mark special times
I think back dreamy
Life seems to rhyme

So many special memories
each one so poignant
full of life's bounties
each one so fervent

If only we could preserve a rose in all its beauty for all time. Especially one with sentimental meaning. Like the ones mentioned in your poem. Nicely penned.

Embracing the "remember whens", from such simple symbolism. This was awesome! Oh, side note, I'd like you to soon change your name (whenever you decide to do that) to "Out of the Shadows Hamilton". :)
