Rose Revelry

Revel in the women & roses

breathe in beauty while you may
for one can flourish in this flora

from both near and far away

Don't dawdle with deliverance

for your craving's tried and true
just persevere with loving care

before your life is through

Roses rejoice and rejuvenate

planting perfumed seeds of hope
their persuasive passion lingers

leaving healing herbs to cope

Finger the frailty of the woman

press a petal to your heart
their heavenly scent soothes sorrows

cleansing iniquities from the dark

So display bouquets of brilliancy

while your heart still beats within
and resonate warm rose radiance

with your ever gracious grin

    This is such a graceful flow of dual meaning.
    I feel the symbology directly reflects Maa
    and all women at their core of femininity.
    Truly an exceptional piece that is all poetry
    should be. Blue

    a truly wonderful tribute to women and roses ...
    thank you for sharing this wonderful verse at the occasion of susan's contest ...
    your words are as graceful as the rose's petals and as perfumed as a woman's soul ...
    a pure delight to read ...

    much love,

    beautiful rhyme and some good advice too. I almost know who this might be written for or about but I think too much on these long cold nights

    I see what you were doing here, with:
    "Revel in the roses"
    "Don't dawdle with deliverance"
    "Finger the frailty of the rose"

    Very amazing. Very thought out I see. This is a very amazing poem I must say. Beautiful in every way. Amazing idea behind it and through and through well thought out.

    What a pleasure it was to read such a great poem. Thank you for giving me the honor
