Competition Piece : Classic Corner Tribute - Rupi Kaur

i wonder if roses experience
growing pains
do their thorns cause them such agony
they think of giving up?

but then again
how can a thing of such beauty
ever grow without
a little effort?

- the rose and her thorns

Thank you for braving the challenge, though it may be not quite a challenge for one accustomed to brevity such as yourself. Good luck!

Rupi really has been an inspiration for me for quite some time, so yes, I am indeed accustomed to this sort of writing style - but it's still daunting to try and write something directly inspired by one of her works.

Thank you!

Delanee.

The rose and her thorns, the sun and her flowers - I really enjoyed your take on Rupi, Delanee. I feel as though you associated with her essence completely. Thank you for entering, and best of luck in the comp!
