fragile in morning repose
dewdrops reflect weathered, teary sorrow
bruised, yet ever beauteous... summer's final rose.

Thankies Merry. You got it. I have another picture of the same type of rose that is gorgeous too, and it has no petals slightly browning like this one-- yet this is my fave.
-
Nicely pictured, sweetheart! Somehow, it seems to me that imperfection does not detract from beauty. I like the connotations I am reading in this. Good luck!
-
Awww i'm tickled you liked this. Thank you so much for the opportunity... made me peek out of the writing closet
-
Thank you so much RRRose. Suits you the name Isn't the picture just gorgeous? A friend went on a garden trip and snapped a few and sent them to me. I treasure them as the next best thing to being there! Yeah I am chronically ill Linda so I have been busy with ill-related junk. Thanks for missing me

I am so pleased that you got all this in my lil poem Tom and indeed to see you as well. I actually spent an embarassingly exhorbitant amount of time writing this. I shouldn't admit that huh
I have so much I want to write but the physical interferes
-
Thank you Falfa Gal! Boy I have to get back to writing so I can say hey. And reading. Eeks. Thank you mucho lady great see you here in this wordy weird wonky poem
-
You know, I always thought roses were ordinary-- you see them everywhere. Then I went to a state that had tulips instead of roses, and found I missed them. Then again a'adore les fleurs he he. Thanks my friend
-
Tis hard to be romantic and passionate in three short lines. Even harder to capture the feeling of romance and a rose's sweet blossom at the same time. You have done a wonderful job at both. Thanks. Love, Tom B.
-
One of nature's delicate beauties..leastwise they look delicate..especially when kissed by dew. Expressed so very well Fae both nature and romantic imagery bravo!
-
So pretty, but I personally am looking forward to the first rose of spring!!!!
Roses are hearty flowers, they bloom long and do not give up easily, many people could learn from these last blossoms, there is no need to let go when three is still more to come!
