Roses Only Comments

your thorns are the best part of you- - - - - -Marianne Moore is the proof of this line! ! ! ! Actually I like her body of work but she does have a stinger and isn't afraid to use it when need be.

The remark! ! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.

Yeah, you have to be with thorns to become a rose. Nice poem.

Then it would be a flower sans fragrance; it is same as aweet sans sugar or food sans salt!

Reminds me of the song BED OF ROSES popularized by BON JOVI.... Thanks for posting...

Life is not what it apparently looks but it is more than that- a multi-dimensional reality. Thanks. But rose, if you are.... brilliant, it is not because your petals are the without-which-nothing of pre-eminence. Would you not, minus.... thorns, be a what-is-this, a mere.... perculiarity?
