Sharper than Sweet

Soft and supple,

Red as cherry pie

Lace of liquid crystal

Overlays its fragrant skirts

I've got this notion

That if I stab its thorn

Into my thumb

I'd bleed ecstasy.

quite brilliant in its execution..Rose lovers would adore this

The title really makes this poem. The union of a painful touch with a pleasant taste is an unusual mingling of both sensory modalities and pleasure/pain. Like some kind of synaesthetic sadomasochism.

"I'd bleed ecstasy" really punches the meaning to the heights attained by the title.

I like it. :)
Very inventive descriptions, and it's short and succinct.
It captures a rose very nicely :)
