Under The Rose Trellis

Choka, the longest of Japanese Haiku type poem...

                             Running Pale Pink Rose

                       On the trellis grows_soft scent

                             Wafts on morning air

                   

                               Under rose trellis

                       You steal a kiss__Oh! Blissful

                            Lips that taste of rose

 

Author's Note

Choka, written in response to competition that said leave me breathless..

There is something special about a rose, a kiss, and a poem...
They are all rather "minuscule" in the grand scheme of things. Yet, they all have the power to change this world into a better place...
Much like you Sara as an author... Making the world a better place.
Lovely!

This poem is gorgeous and I hadn't heard of Choka before so I not only was afforded the opportunity to read something so wonderful, I also learned something new.

Beautiful poem. I also learned from this. What I only know is haiku and senryu. I have done a poem consisting of 3 haikus...so it's a Choka.
Thanks for the share.

there are times I'd say poetry is art and this is one of them.
Nice work.
