Joyce Johnson Poet Tanka

Yellow Rose

Lovely yellow rose 
Is seen as warm token of
Genuine friendship.
Comes with no obligations
To sincerely say, "I care".

Love without passion
Freely given and received,
Yellow rose message.
A lover sends red roses.
A friend chooses the yellow.

Andrea Dietrich April 8, 2013 at 6:14 PM this is so true, Joyce. and I love my friends, but I still love a red rose the best! However, my daughter in law helped me finally plant my first rose bushes last year. I'm so excited to see them bloom again. They are mostly yellow ones with a few pink mixed in!
