The beauty of a crimson rose...

The color was a stunning,

a luminous crimson red.

It was blossoming,

it was young,

it was fresh like Spring.

It’s petals were vibrant.

They were full of life

full of youth.

It was striking

it was vivid

it was beauty itself

it was the glory of life itself.

 

It was a magnificent red rose…

 

Inside this splendid rose

special qualities lay hidden…

 

There was purity,

there was clarity.

And there was more.

There was innocence

there was benevolence.

And there was freshness,

there was the rigor of youth

there was the zest for life…

The inner soul

of this magnificent red rose

was vivid, vibrant,

glowing and radiant.

 

This superb crimson  rose

was named Elaine…

While I can appreciate the sincerity and joy in your words, poetry like this is best when presented to the one you love. The general reader will consider it as nothing more than greeting card verse, I'm afraid. Best, Ronda
