The R-O-S-E

THE ROSE


T~hirty-two steps through the yellow-green grass led me to you.
H~aving to choose which one; my heart with no doubt chose you.
E~very rose bloomed quite differently, though nothing meretricious like you.

R~ed is known to be the favorite color to man; color blinded; my soul desired you.
O~f all the roses, my senses were captivated and comely to you.
S~ome men may pick more than one rose; but, I only want you.
E~ven mother nature so pulchritudinous can't compare to you.





Pace, G

Roses are my favorite. I once wrote a poem named "A tear from a yellow rose." I kept it to myself never got the chance to share it but I love yours. Thanks for sharing.

Having only one rose is terrific. I think that all we need in our life is one rose. I think its kind of hard to have more than one. Another great poem pace that I have enjoyed reading. I am glad that I visit you. Thanks for sharing.
