The Beauty of a Rose

The beauty of a rose exudes in rage, love. It is a classic piece found in one's garden during spring time. Everybody would be happy to touch, twirl and count its petals.

I counted the petals of a red rose,

same as a number of verses in prose.
Soft, luscious, as dreaming clouds in galore,
bringing pink blushes to my cheeks the more.

A tingling kiss, tastes like a sweetened hue.

One petal flew and one went in pursue.
While, the chilling breeze added a color
of tainted crystal red on the flower.

I twirled it, laughed and sang a ho-hum fals.

As it looked so lovely, I blew petals
in bunches, a delight to me… a treat!
How I wish, I was holding twelve’s of it!

Oh, short stemmed roses tied in a bow.

Laces and prints decorated in rows.
The spring goddess, with gaiety, gives thanks.
No such anxiety is seen strengthens.

For me, the beauty of a rose to prove

is a humbled epitome of rage… love.
Under the sun’s glory, a rose glistens.
Such loving kindness, as the day closes.

You have conveyed a love of roses in a delightful and playful prose. (Rose Prose) for that i give you high marks. Only the slightest mention of spring though. That was half the criteria for the contest. Was it not? The other half was to be a poem ABOUT poetry. I am at a loss to find that half in here. If the contest were; A poem about a rose you would have scored high.

Excellent poetry, Kabayan.

I joined this site last January 4 and became active last summer vacation. Why I haven't meet you those times?

Well, I can't help it to smile while reading this. Roses are symbols of women- beautiful but strong. Roses are also given by men to women as symbol of their love. And here in this piece, "the beauty of a rose exudes in rage and love".

You are a brilliant poet. Nice rhyme scheme here. I also love the font color- so feminine. Keep writing.

Wow, this superb poetry...the rhyme scheme and prose format...excellent...yet the subject of a rise written a million times over...and I still read something original in its simplicity...beautiful work...too bad it didn't hit first place...but in the poetic world...if you are writing poems from the heart...you'll always he a winner. :)

You marveled at the superb beauty of a rose found in a garden.
You made me happy with the magic of your words by your angelic talent.

i think shakespeare would have enjoyed reading this rose colored piece of poetry very much.

i surely loved the poetic license to make some of the rhyme in here...different.
