Ambivalent

Pas de rose sans épine.... No rose without a thorn.People,like a rose beautiful with thorns.Both ambivalent .If this poem paints an image in your mind,this poem is for you.

She laid in a bed of roses 

Questioning people who use poses 

 

Thorn in  heart 

 Torn apart 

Blood on palm 

Not calm 

 

She laid in a bed of thorns

Questioning people who are adorns 

 

As she laid 

She now knew

 

Roses have thorns.

Poses have horns.

NellaKovska I think you may have meant posers or poseurs instead of poses here.

I like the awareness in this and the simplicity - the format gives it a relaxed feel almost as if we are the one lying down receiving the knowledge and experiencing an epiphany.

I also liked the equating some people to just decorational - I think it might be adornments you need here instead of adorns but it is reads just fine as 'verbed', in fact it adds something, I feel.

Thank you for sharing this.

No ,I wasn't meaning to refer to posers in the poem.

"Pose" the one that someone pulls of before a picture is different to the pose I was referring to in my poem."Pose" also has the meaning of a noun referring to a behavior. A ''pose'' is a particular way of behaving adopted in order to impress or to give a false impression.

We had groups of people who ran around in the 1980s who were neither Mods nor Punks nor Skinheadz but who chose to dress with clothing from all three groupings - they were called Posers because they were consdiered to be affecting - they were not true to any single group, choosing to flit between all three - so I guess thats where I brought my own interpretation to this - sorry

[NellaKovska]

No,I apologize i thought you were referring to people who pose for the camera but your interpretation was correct,I was just referring to the behavior which is pose but you are correct a person demonstrating this behavior is a poser.I just referred to the noun,behavior for rhyming purposes:)
