Real Red Rose

Our love was like a real red rose

Full of dirt and thorns

Lasting for a few short nights

And wilting in the morn…

 

Author's Note

Just pondering the practice of equating love with a red rose...

Well my friend, your ponderings it seems have taken you to the dark side. I can see petals with brown edges scattered all over the floor. :)

Fun Rita.

[Rita L. Sev]

Even my dark side has a sense of fun... :) Thanks, Jack!

Woah Rita, not sure I'd want that rose.... I think I'll pass! A twisted version my friend!

[Rita L. Sev]

Yes, twisted, especially with Valentine's day so near! Thanks, Noodle!

OMG I never thought of it that way. You've given me a new perspective on the rose.

[Rita L. Sev]

Kinda makes you want to rethink getting your Valentine roses, eh? ;) Thanks, Dale!
