The Rose

Red spiral,
internally viral,
each petal pure,
with an sweet addictive lure,
layers fold,
standing strong in the cold,
scent of freedom,
with a stem of strength,
it tickles my nose.
This is the Rose.

I love this. The rose is so potent in so many art disciplines, and has a rich history intertwined with our own. Even sweeter for me my adopted pooch is named Rose ;) Lovely Elissa!
