Roses are the most common
floral expression of love.
Six for $9.95 at Kroger
says as much as $29.95
at the florist shop with
the little bell that thanks you
for coming in and going out.
Twenty bucks is a lot to pay
to say your welcome to a bell.
But, for someone more special
than common can convey,
the first ray of morning sun,
cut diagonally above its fiery roots,
is the only stem and pedestal
that can hold my thoughts of you.
Originals are better than remakes.
About Me
- Pat Paulk
- 2009! 57 years ago in April I was a 2# squealing baby boy. Got a wonderful tan in an incubator. Made friends with plastic tubing, needles and tape. All of which I have zero recollection. I've been well watered and fertilized over the years, and grown quite ripe. Plastic tubing, needles and tape are catalysts for flashbacks without the buzz. Enjoy!

I love the part: "the ray first ray of morning sun cut diagonall above its firey roots" Great job, I hope the poem melted her heart (I'm reminded of why men write poetry according to Garrison Keillor).
Hi Pat
Hope all is well with you!
I've miised some great poems here...just got caught up on them.
Love this one!
Beautiful!
Have a great weekend!
Gosh Pat, love the last lines of this...excellent wording.
you got that right!
I love flowers and men that know about them!
i like roses but will take the morning sunray any time :)
great job!
And...
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
I like Pat's poem,
And so do you.
That's beautiful.
Roses are beautiful, too, but have far less personality than your words.
Powerful.
Such romance! Breathtaking...
and I'll bet no-one has written these lines before you--
not an easy feat when it comes to love poems...
Only you can use Kroger and romance and still make it work! :)
beautifully done pat
Enjoyable read. Very romantic indeed. Nicely written.
SWEET!!!!!!!!!
Such romance !!
A rose to you, no make that an armful.
Your poem might get you off buying the roses. Maybe...
It starts off in a cynical note, ending with a depth of feeling.
Always so original..... :) nnd rather romantic, don't you think. :)
