Poetry About A Rose
Poetry about a rose returns to a classic image and looks again: petal, thorn, fragrance, garden, vase, gift, bruise, and the brief perfection of something living.
A rose can carry love, grief, apology, beauty, danger, and memory. These poems let the familiar flower keep surprising us.

One Rose
A poem about a single flower.
One rose
on the table
made the whole room
behave differently.
Even dust
seemed careful
near its red.

Thorn

The thorn did not
apologize
for protecting
the bloom.
Beauty sometimes
keeps a boundary.

Vase Water
The short life of a cut rose.
In the vase water,
petals loosened
one by one.
Even fading
had a soft way
of teaching love.
