Notes About The Poem

Unforgettable Rose

“Love is like a rose. When pressed between two lifetimes, it will last forever.” – Anonymous



In vast wilderness of emerald summer, rose blossoms brightness,
Like the moon's latterly visits, in pearly, glimmering contriteness.
Her scent lingers in the hearts and minds, of those who knew her,
Through the precious and golden days, gone by in a piquant blur.

Grace, beauty, and cool elegance, in a thousand delicate shades,
Swirling and dancing in silent places, that honeyed sun pervades.
Unforgettably luscious and languid, visitor to many dreamy hours,
Pursuing on a winding path to eternity, with odd, hypnotic powers!

Evelyn, you have outdone yourself with this exquisite poem honoring the rose! This is trophy material my friend! Your creation is unforgettable. My husband loved roses so, he let them speak for his love and gave them to me every week tho we grew our own roses. I am saving this glorious poem to my Faves. I truly hope your divine poem receives the accolades it deserves. Hugs, Connie xxoo

Were you born in a garden, Evelyn?! I'm half-serious. You have such an amazing affinity for describing flowers. Keep 'em coming. FAVE! Thanks, gw

You are so welcome. I fell in love with nature when I was small, and my family moved to a tree lined street. I was then allowed to go out and walk about alone for the first time. There were flowers about, and fireflies in the evenings, and yellow butterflies galore! Many thanks for your appreciation and for the FAVE. :)
