My Rose

Love.

My Rose

by alice oiseau

*

My rose is most beautiful of all

Just like the richest of wines

To survive the most brutal of winters

To bloom the reddest, to smell the sweetest

To live prosperously, to grow infinitely

My rose is indeed most beautiful of all

 

 

Author's Note

I get complaints for not writing any thing for a while. So I wrote something, though it's not all that great. Don't be surprised if you see some basic poems right now.

tehee, im the first one to commentt :D
anyway, i like the simplicity of this one. it works for the poem, you know?
although, im not sure if i like this line: "To survive one of the most brutal winters". i think it would have sounded better as: 'To survive the most brutal of winters'. i know its just a stupid picky thing, but whatever. lol :)
i love the part when you compare the rose and the 'richest of wines'. that was really beautiful and creative :) a really lovely poem, alice

Love never fails and is eternal. It will endure everything. Love is so beautiful...

So is this poem. Short but to add any more would drown the feeling. The lesser the words the better for something based on a single object/symbol (rose).

This poem was short but it showed the beauty of love. How you felt about love and the one that you are with. We all should feel that we have something special (even if it is not as you dreamed it should be), if not one will be facilely moved to feel as though there is perfection in someone else. Great read!

It's like you're tending a rose in a vase, treating the bud like a precious piece of china.

Sweet lines,

This reminds me of Robert Burns when he talked about the sweetness of his love in "A Red, Red Rose", which became one of his famous poems. For a rose to represent love is quite a clich� but it's been that way for a long time. There's just nothing else to compare it to. The rose, with its thorns, perfectly symbolizes love. It's beautiful and fragrant ---so enticing. Yes, it's boastful as Honeypot said. That because, there's a sense of confidence as to what this rose can offer.

A short poem with so much substance. There's always beauty in simplicity, indeed.

This little piece has such emotional strength... i agree sometimes you can really say so much with the write words without making it long... a very beautiful piece.

I like this and I think many people could take many different things from such a short write. To me it is a wonderful thought to envelop in one's life, whether it is the heart, a love, or the soul: to live trying to make any of those things the "most beautiful of all" means life is being lead honorably, and that can only be a good thing. Good job.

short but way awesome

[Jibey]

Fragrant thoughts underpinned by a touch of the erotic. Yes, sometimes less is more.

[Honeypot]

You know I often say that shorter poems can sometimes say so much. I see this rose as a metaphor for a love and you're saying that yours is the best of all. Its beautiful and boastful, which is wonderfully sweet when you are boasting about your sweetie. That's my take on it at least. I think its really very good.
