Wild Thing

The wild rose expresses the essence of life and beauty
a sweet blossom atop thorny stems with roots entirely her own
the fragrant lure summons as honey bee makes its approach

Magical sijo, Edwin. As they say, "every rose has its thorns." We have to approach beauty with caution for fear of getting hurt. Best wishes in the sijo contest! Carolyn
