Blood rose was plucked from her throny nest,
Hoping she would be able to give it her best.
Not knowing how she would have to be around,
She enjoyed listening to the lady's sound.
For the one who had chosen to pluck only her,
Told her that she was the very best for sure.
Pleased at the pretty vase she was sitting in,
She hoped that she would be the only one to win.
Traveling with the lady to the county fair,
Entering her into the flower contest there.
When judging was over with blue ribbon given out,
She wanted jump for joy and give a loud shout.
"I won this very blue ribbon for you and me,
And for all the big world out there to see ".
Blood Rose sitting there as days passed on,
She knew that she very soon would be gone.
Knowing she had won for her lady giving it all,
Wilting away as she sat in vase ever so small.

Blood Rose(Rose Bud) -
A gorgeous poem. A great take on the prompt. Love the story you have told, beautifully done and a little sad at the end. The rhyme and flow are spot on, superbly penned. Good luck in the contest
