Pale blush pink to
searing crimson red
Pure bright white to
sweet sunshine yellow
These fresh roses tilled
in strong gardens at their
beginning are not born flawed
Slowly emerging, one by one
from seeds sewn with the
love of sunweathered hands
galiantly reaching toward the
sky with ambient pride
Dew droplets gently carressing
each and every petal
A heavenly scent like no other
Our sunkissed fresh roses
are like a gentle tap one
one's life, ever so worthy
of life's celebration

Mmmm I just love this write, it warms the spirit beautifully since I am amidst the gray snowy winter.
"galiantly reaching toward the
sky with ambient pride"
These two lines are so uniquely expressed with these specially chosen words, giving such honor to the blessed strength of the rose.
"Dew droplets gently carressing
each and every petal
A heavenly scent like no other"
Oh this touches the heart of this irish girl who loves the mystical element of the garden, longing to submerge these hands in warm fertile earth ~ smelling the heavenly scent, the gift of waiting and tending.
Wonderful write this is poet

truly gentle
such a soft gentle poem of the beauty we at times take for granted. The God given fragrance the blesses the air. Wonderful write

It's very effective in helping the reader see the beauty of roses... very nice visual descriptions. The one line, "A heavenly scent like no other" is also effective, but it's the only reference to scent, so it does seem to be a random thought rather than central to a rose's beauty. But I really think you soared with the first and last stanzas... so nice job!
