The Prettiest Flower Is the Rose

The prettiest flower is the rose,
elegant and charming in its grand pose;
and the more light it gets, the quicker it grows...
have you glanced at my garden of various flowers?


I took this yellow rose from a perfumed bush,
and for some unexplainable reason it did blush;
yes, shyness is also seen in the petals of velvety roses... 
when they do open up to the golden sun like danseuses.


In a vase painted by crafted hands,
I've placed my yellow rose to absorve sunlight...
while nourished by the cool water of mountains' springs,
to make it feel a sudden rush of delight.


Admire my pretty yellow rose adorned by light
as in a famous painting by a great artist with practicality, 
and who can deny the realism of his insight?
Even constellations peak, then gracefully glide into eternity.

Roses have a distinct beauty the brings delight to those who view them, Andrew. Painters try, but none can capture the true beauty of this flower the way you have in your words. Love, Carolyn
