The Flag of Yorkshire

Just a special white rose
reposed in a sea of blue sky,
together our pride flutters in the wind.

I love so much your lines here, a special white rose reposed in a sea of blue sky...Very beautiful imagery and I'm so glad to know you more by this superb terse verse. Thank you so much for sharing and for your very kind visit again on my poem. I miss you and so happy to read from you again very dear poet friend of mine. God bless you!

It's great that you chose a regular three liner instead of haiku. You were able to spend more time on details that sound so awesome here. I should have done that as well!! I really like yours, harry.
