How sweet that rose, in form how fair.

And how it's fragrance scents the air

with dew o'erspread as early morn

I grasp It , but I grasp a thorn.

 

How strange thought I so fair a flower,

fit ornament for lady's bower,

emblem of love in beauty's form,

should in It's breast conceal a thorm.

Really like it, says everything in such a short space. We've all done it, and sucked on our finger afterwards, you've really captured the moment brilliantly.

Hi Robin

I thought this was a very beautiful poem - can almost smell the scent of roses - has an Elizabethan/Shakespearan touch to it.
