the first rose

love was from the start
a rich poem I would pen 
speaking of beauty 
the words would travel with me
through decades of tears and rust

Dear robert, sounds like your first poem was about love and emotions that were in need of poetically expressing, your tanka flows so well and i love the title too. Some words wev written in the past they travel for decades, as memories or souvenirs that remind us of the situations or people that inspired us to write and your tanka reminds me of that: best wishes in the contest. Sending you light always
