Sandra Haight Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Varied Roses

A rose is a rose is a rose.
	And why is that?  I suppose-
		deep russet, bright red, pink delight,
cream, yellow, pure white in our sight;

home-grown, cultivated or wild-
	the fragrance, outstanding or mild;
		in gardens, bouquet or a vase-
each rose is so sure to amaze.

So now, are you able to see?
	Varied "roses from all nations- 
		scintillate in complete harmony"-
meeting diverse expectations.

A rose is a rose is a rose-
	no matter in what way it shows.
