The Importance of the Rose
.THE IMPORTANCE OF THE ROSE (flower contest entry)
Every rose harbors a story,
from buds kissed by the dew,
lovely glorious blossoms,
share the mystique of their hue.
Sunny yellow says “I care,”
lemonade to shades of gold,
non-romantic true affection,
invites friendships to unfold.
A whisper of sweet memories
blooms the peaceful rose of white,
beautiful remembrances
like flocks of doves in flight.
A pink rose sings of happiness,
bright tones or soft pastels
bring goodwill, joy and cheerfulness
to any story that it tells.
Burning passion and desire
spark from a brilliant flame ,
an orange rose like a sunset,
no two are quite the same.
The moody hybrid blue rose,
cries of unrequited love,
a lonely journey by your heart,
without who you’re dreaming of.
The “Queen of Roses,” ruby red,
it’s splendor unsurpassed,
a love beyond all others,
a true love that will last.
Symbolic and enchanting,
each wondrous flower that grows,
life would surely lack some magic,
without the beauty of the rose.
