IT'S FOR YOU ROSE (PART 1)

A rose here and there

Would you pick a rose from a garden that's not
yours?

Wouldn't you call it stealing even though it's
just a rose…?

Smelling it doesn't make the farmer annoyed,

Touching it, will stunt its growth.

 

The farmer planted it on the land he bought,

He watered it, and kept it warm;

Against the wind and rain that usually fell

He worked hard daily and answered its calls

So it's not fair to use it for your joy

 

If it's the one, take it from his land to yours

care for its purity as what the creator wants.

That if you care for her real joys…

It's not asking much, it's only asking to be secured

It gives its beauty, its body and

even more

I plant my roses for all to enjoy....picking them is removing them..but sometimes circumstances are more important?

[NoneOfYourBusiness akaK..]

you spek a beautiful language~ a rose by any other name is no longer a rose though~ the soil will always change the dichotomy of the flower~
your poem in its double aura is exquisite~ the patterns of language like a giving tree~ this is beautiful~

Well I see I have missed this one. See what happens when I am gone for a day?

This was lovely. Your images that go throughout this is brilliant.. One does not own a rose, for a rose, or any flower for that matter, can ever be owned. It is a thing of nature, to be enjoyed, loved, cherished and most of all, appreciated.. But owned? never.. Your lines tell so much, it explains what true beauty is about, the passion that it takes to see with eyes of meaningful desire, and most of all, the eyes of a true believer that a thing of beauty can only be kept if held with care, like in the farmer? He grew it with love and kindness, willing it to grow with all he sent her..

I could go on and on with this, to me it is a winner in every way.. You have come very far my friend.. Rightly so..

I really liked this poem especially the first two opening lines. I'm not a poet so maybe I don't grasp things the way other poets might but the one thing that stuck out to me was using the word ‘farmer’. To me a farmer is someone who grows crops on a gross scale, could someone like that really care for a rose so much? It made me think of this beautiful rose that maybe wanted to be picked to be appreciated? To think about a poem long and hard after reading it is a good thing. Well done.

I must say that this is delicious>> A rose by any other name still doesn't belong to you>> And so many tread upon the manicured garden of others>> Taking the rose he has cherished so dear without a thought to what work he has put into it>> And yet, that is the norm today>> You have reached my heart with your words of truth>> And I must remember that I belong in my husbands garden for him to care for me and no one else>> The structure is sound>> Wording, beautiful>> If one ever dared to complain about this it would be out of his jealousy for not coming up with this first>> Excellent!
