Perfection;
Curled in deep slumber,
nestled innocently.
Velvet to the touch, as a breath.
Yawning into radiant perfume.
Dewdrop glistening;
With light intense
reflected beauty.

What a beautiful reply Thank you so much for the in depth
review, I really appreciate it

ahhh, this could refer to any flower really... have you ever, for instance, seen a poppy open (I mean the full petalled poppies, not the five petalled ones)- the wonder of how much can be contained in such a small space...
You portray with so few words the simple opening of a flower- the birth of a specific kind of beauty. Something so in tune with the light and with the world around it that we cannot comprehend...
and you incorporate in this the very essence of colour too "with light intense
reflected beauty."
This poem make you wish you were a small enough to wrap yourselves in petals as though they were blankets and bask in the warm glow of your words

this was rather lovely.. i didnt expect at all to see a description of a rose that wasn't horribly cliched but was pleasantly surprised
the slumber bit i liked and the end, "dewdrop glistening,
with light intense
reflected beauty.
"
