Notes About The Poem

Written 7th February 2025

Roses or Fireflies Poetry Contest - Sponsored by Ink Empress

Sea of Roses

A sea of roses graced the local park Swaying to the sweet singing of a lark Sensual ambience those roses made Supported by stems of majestic jade. The roses danced like waves upon the sea To gentle wind caressing them softly Enjoying the motion, most daintily Back and forth, side to side elegantly. Sunlight glimmered o’er their rosy faces As they performed with delightful graces To an audience that was mesmerised By the scene being played before their eyes. Roses of every colour one can name Petals owning their unique claim to fame Roses, the epitome of romance Inciting hearts to race and feet to dance. Every rose has its own special splendour That is, that was and will be for ever A sea of roses waving on the breeze Is a stupendous sight that's sure to please.

Awwn this is just so ethereal, dear Beryl! I love how you've described an atmosphere filled with the perfume of infinite roses, as they sway in a sea of crimson petals ~ painted a romantic ambience for the affection-filled hearts. Gorgeously inked and it's indeed magical... Best wishes for the contest, adored reading this with your whimsical rhymes!
