"THE ROSE" FROM MY ROOF TOP GARDEN, 19 JULY 2017, MY PHOTO, ©

Image may contain: flower, plant, nature and outdoor

The rose I asked: "Why a tender flower like you is armed with so many thorns?" "Because there are as many unfeeling foes lurking around" It bitterly replied! © Demetrios Trifiatis 19 July 2017

- The rose was sacred to the Greek love goddess Aphrodite - I think of the legend of the nightingale that fell in love with a white rose - A wonderful poem, my friend - hugs // Anne-Lise :)
