By Jean McLeod
white roses,
tight-wrapped, shy, pious,
a blush on their undermost petals
trembling with envy
of red’s swollen passion
tight-wrapped, shy, pious,
a blush on their undermost petals
trembling with envy

I love this poem. It has wonderful imagery, says so much in few words, and it’s beautiful!
Yes indeed, great imagery.
Jeanette and Bobby! Thank you so much!
