The Rose

—————

Soft pink and scented
She stood elegantly
Slender well presented

On a woody barbed pedestal.
Swaying gently in the breeze.
Look on in amazement

At natures great achievement.
And glory in the grace
The way she proudly takes her place
Amongst the nettles and the weeds
Adding beauty to the air from which
She feeds.
