in depth look at poem: Well, what can I say? I chatted with her again and was so touched by her kindness that I wrote her 3 or 4 poems. This is number 3.


Lady Rose 16

no handle could ever describe so perfectly
an individual....

Lady....
a kind, sweet, wonderful lady of perfection....
kinder, sweeter, more wonderful
than anyone I’ve ever known....

Rose....
no flower could describe a person so closely...
for when I gaze upon a rose’s beauty
and smell the perfume scent...
the only thing that comes to mind is you...
and your handle....
for the things that you have done to encourage me
far outweigh all the others.....
and you are on my mind.

16....
the number of kind words spoken by her
every post.... :-)
