PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

whether by my petals
or through my thorns
my stem is wholly unforgettable
for I am told
by such a remarkable source
that I am
'A Witty Rose'

why even when
belligerent of tone
to you I have been
the sweetness of
my true fragrance still
billows forth to bloom
into the nostrils of true
attraction
my seeds
in your heart
are sensationally sewn

as the winter soil
softens to thaw
and your sunshine's love
stays longer
and sweetest of all
into your air I grow
more prosperous than
the Apostle Paul

you claim I am
a lovely bud
never once
giving yourself credit
for the encouraging
environment you supply
to let me display
my fullest pulchritude's rub
at the comely behest of you
I ever always shall be
to the world of your eyes
at least
'A Witty Rose'

why else
but for all these glorious truths
could I not help but indeed
love my masculine garden
I call you
he who so protectively cocoons
none other than this
fierce fresh flower
so preciously pruned
'A Witty Rose'..........................
