The Rose and the Cactus

The splattered sun A sacrificing nun The splashing colours Emitting the sunset odours The melting yellow blue and gray The stories of the spent golden hay On the embroidered gray tray The stars in a bouquet The fairies of the moonlight In the quiet footsteps they alight Calling in the gurgle of the stream In the wish fulfilling dream The dark night starts Painting with the first light The deep orange arts In the silken delight The birds wake us With their dawn chorus In the colourful east For the eyes a feast The orange pink and blue A thousand tales of hue The life calls us In the rose and the cactus February 16, 2018 Sunrise and sunset - Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Silent One

I love that imagery. The rose and the cactus, both have thorns and both have flowers. And both of them tell a thousand tales. Best wishes, Kai

Congrats on your well-deserved win, Probir. Beautiful, varied combination of words to relay your thoughts. I know of a children's tale of the Rose and the Cactus, beauty with thorns.
