A Rose by Any Other Name
What is a rose by any other name?
Would that the answer startle you?
The pink folds,
The spreading out,
As though awaiting pleasure sent.
Eventually closing around itself
It has served its purpose,
Given passion to those who claimed her,
Now it is the time to move on gracefully.

Move on gracefully to get some much needed rest I should think, hehe. Nice words Jerry & interesting perception; nearly always involving nature or natural elements in some way.

Jerry, such a lovely write...and I am going over each line, and the interpretations can be multi faceted...making this brain pause for a moment and think quietly, smiling regardless of what each line tells me every time.

Your words gave me great pleasure, Taryn. The lines are what they are. Interpret them as you will. Thank you so very, very much for hanging in with me on my poetical writin.
