A rose is a rose
Whether fresh or wilted
Whether red or white
Whether thorny or pruned
A rose will always be a rose
Its own specialness it has
Its own sweet smell it has
Its own special significance it has
Whether bloomed or premature
A rose will always be a rose
A special flower It is
Its different colours it has
All representing an emotion
Whether Pink or yellow
A rose will always be a rose

very good!
I understand what you're trying to get across i think, roses are representing people and how we seem to think if someone is different they are no longer a real person. Yes no matter how we look, act, or whatever state we're in, we are still roses....thanx for entering and good luck in the contest! -
nice poem written verry well, but i fail to understand what it has to do with the theme of the contest

A great poem! It had a special meaning behind it (correct me if I'm mistaken). Humans are humans and a rose is a rose no matter the outside appearance.
A truly brilliant piece of art! I loved the story behind the brilliance.
