The Flag of Yorkshire

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

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.
