Thorn Rose Mr

The intricacy of the thorn can be beautiful in itself by the right beholder. The requirement for distance and delicate handling mean beauty is not seen or appreciated by all but in the end that doesn't matter. Quote by poet (former goth) I grew stealthily more thorny As the dangers presented Guarding the rose inside my heart Til all I was thinking Was about dangers prevented Forgetting the rose at the start Time strides forward Lost chances lamented Wishing my life could restart But I'm Thorn Rose by nature Tormented not sweet scented These thorns are what set me apart So I have sharp edges But am not unornamented Slightly dangerous yet delicate art The Rose Inside My Heart Poetry Contest 21st March 2023 Sponsored by: Mystic Rose Rose

Hmmm a prickly situation here DD. How in one poem did you get me favoring a thorny rose ? I see the beauty almost like barbed wire protecting a secret garden, there is much value in what is being protected. Very nicely done.

Thank you, one day I might write a pretty poem about roses, but one didn't arrive when I stared at my blank page yesterday:)
