Glaring at me from an
intricately designed vase

Watching me pace
back and forth

Calling me to come
take a whiff
while reading those lines

Light hits you perfect
in that corner
by the door

Wishing you would stink
just a little
yet your aroma
fills this room

Wishing you were rotting
with spots of black and brown
overtaking you

Yet your color of sex- me -red
is so beautiful and elegant

Not forgetting timeless
with that timelessness effect

From the poetry section, read the original here: Original Poem

The opening lines are awesome...
I like the imagery you have used and the personal touch this poem has.
Your emotions expressed belie your feigned hatred for the roses.

I like what I read.

Cheers

Why do you wish your lovely roses to rot? Nice poem.

very nice! two minor nits - intricate dasigned vase (should it be intricately designed vase?) and not forgetting timeless (timelessness?). both are just suggestions to use or lose.

enjoyed this!
