Pink Rose(Tanka)

by Jad   May 18, 2010


Lavender pink sheets-
Overlapping each other,
With thorns of despair.
So delicate and tender
Beauty compelling our hearts.

    Roses are my favorite flowers. I could see this pink rose you wrote about and almost feel the petals, so soft and delicate. Well done.
