Roses
Poems that transcend beauty
​
The rose, an exquisite flower, holds deep symbolism and profound significance in human history. Shakespeare's timeless quote in Romeo and Juliet, "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet," emphasizes its enduring allure.
Throughout the ages, the rose has been laden with meaning, experiences, and emotions that transcend mere beauty. Its petals in various colors symbolize diverse sentiments from love and passion to purity and friendship.
This storied flower has become an emblem of love's tender embrace, a reminder of life's fragility, and an expression of heartfelt emotions.
In life's garden, we encounter various experiences - moments of joy and happiness intermingled with challenges and struggles.

Over 5000 Years
Roses' mischievous allure, retold,
Roses' petals through time unfold,
Roses' tales in Asia's domain,
Roses' charm, Confucius did explain.
Roses bloomed in Imperial style,
Roses' colors made the emperor smile,
Roses' gardens, a playful cheer,
Roses' history, over five thousand years.
Roses' laughter in limericks' art,
Roses' beauty, a great joy from the start,
Roses' legend, lively longevity, and quiet,
Roses' enchantment, love's sacred delight

Heart Laughter
Vibrant orange hue,
Life's vitality expressed,
Confidence blooms true.
Offbeat love affairs,
Passion's spark ignites the air,
Hearts entwined in dance.
Perfect gifts they form,
Bouquets filled with joy and charm,
Gardens bloom with life.
For those who embrace,
Their unique rhythm and grace,
Orange roses call.
Laughter's sweet refrain,
In their presence, hearts unchain,
Flair blooms like a fire.
Nature's gift of love,
In each petal dreams take flight,
Blossoming spirits.
With zest they unfurl,
Life's symphony in each swirl,
A vibrant encore.
Bright orange roses,
Nature's gift, our hearts expose,
Health and love collide.
In gardens they thrive,
Serenading souls alive,
Gifts of joy they give.
