A Rose For Every Occasion

by Wolf Haines   Aug 15, 2008


Fabrication it would be
If a yellow rose be found with me
For I hold no white rose of secrecy.
A delightful burgundy
Rose denoting simplicity
Describes ones feelings towards thee.
I shall deliver onto you a china rose to gracefully
Illustrate your ever fresh beauty.

A white rose bud in my hand? Is it true?
Am I simply too young to
Love an angel such as you?
However, a province rose is not untrue.
Such confusion is a dog rose. What is one to do?
On my lack of a wreath of roses I am left to rue,
For I am so far unrewarded for such virtue.
All these roses, all my love, yet I still feel blue.

    I think the poem was beautifully penned, clever, great use of a metaphor, the rhyming doesn't seem forced.

    I thought the flow was off in these 2 lines:

    ^I shall deliver onto you a china rose to gracefully
    Illustrate your ever fresh beauty.^

    It just wasn't in sync with the rest of the piece. I wouldn't say deliver unto you....maybe Bestow? I would also take out the to between rose and gracefully and change the next line to Illustration of your beauty or something.....

    I really enjoyed reading this, you did a really nice job!
