Sweet Fragrance

my soft fragile rose
 sunshine glowing from your heart
             I long to be near
though your sharp thorns inflict pain
   your sweet fragrance I will gain

Very beautiful, Lin. Not all roses have thorns as this one certainly doesn't. No blood here.

A splendidly constructed TANKA in accurate meter with richly flowing lines that make perfect sense! (sometimes TANKAs can be clumsy, but not this.) Well done indeed!! Best wishes, Keith
