Roses Roses Roses Potd

In all her glory, dawn has burst forth, With a slight glow of early morning brightness I sit in the bower, listening to birds in concert And admire wonderful, Rosebuds unfold, Revealing a beautiful red rose With a precision wisp of light prancing around them Emitting a velvety feeling, so tempting to touch Long green stems, prickles, Full of scallop trim leaflets all in green, With brown thin veins Around the red velvet leaves, Music playing on cool fresh air Coursing through the whispering leaves Sweet aroma of moist dew and rose perfumes Floating gently on the breeze Gives me an intense curiosity to embrace the rose Just the sight of the red roses Reminds me to breathe 12/17/2014 Rose Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Robert James Liguori

ok, I am seeing this one exactly almost five years later, and I notice at that time, this WAS your NUMBER one poem. I loved it and I love it now. Let me see your third most popular.

Wow! You have transmitted me to a different time and place. I feel so much peace right now. I have never read a poem more beautiful and more evocative. Something so beautiful can only come from the tenderness of your heart. Thank you for bringing so many good feelings to my day, my life, my heart. God bless you, Bryan
