Today I spent a few minutes composing a poem for a friend. I love poetry. I have a published poem in a collegiate handbook and I have loved poetry since I was very little. I still have a book of poems from grade school that I just love to look at from time to time. It's amazing what touches our soul. I like very simple poetry and I'm not a fan of much rhyming.... I like it in some spots but I'm more of a story telling poet.....
Here is a sample of something I put together a short time ago..... I always say we should REALLY stop and smell the roses.....
WHAT'S
UP WITH THAT ROSE?
SO WE HEAR THE
SAYING, “A ROSE BY ANY OTHER NAME IS STILL A ROSE...”
IS THAT TRUE?
LET'S EXAMINE THE ROSE
A BEAUTIFUL FLOWER,
OR ,”AS WE ROSE UP, ROSE ABOVE, ROSE STRONG”
WHAT ELSE DO WE SEE
IN A ROSE?
LET'S SEE THE “ANY
OTHER NAME....” PART ….
SORE....HOWE DOES
THAT MAKE YOU FEEL? NOT STRONG LIKE THE ROSE
NOT BRAVE LIKE
THE “ROSE UP ABOVE”
NOT WELL
YET THAT IS ROSE BY
ANOTHER NAME
ORES... LIKE IRON
ORES OF STRENGTH
OK, THAT'S BETTER
AND THAT IS ROSE BY
ANOTHER NAME
HOW ABOUT...
EROS..... THE GREEK
GOD.
THROUGHOUT GREEK
HISTORY, EROS SEEMED TO HAVE 2 SIDES
SOME THOUGHT HE WAS
ALL LIGHT AND SOME THOUGHT HE WAS ALL DARKNESS
AND THAT IS ROSE BY
ANOTHER NAME
FIND OUT ABOUT
EROS....LOOK HIM UP.... E R O S
(THAT'S ROSE
BACKWARDS)
FUNNY THAT WE HAVE
YET ANOTHER EXPRESSION,
“YOU ARE LOOKING
THROUGH ROSE COLORED GLASSES”
DOESN'T THAT TOO,
SHOW A DARK AND LIGHT SIDE OF ROSE....
BY ANOTHER
NAME.....
SO IS IT STILL A
ROSE....BY ANY OTHER NAME?
THINK ABOUT IT AND
LET ME KNOW.
