The beauty of the Rose <br />by any other name <br />would be as sweet its scent <br />as its redolent essence is <br />so scripted ever since. <br /> <br />But, see not just the blossom <br />on the wandering vine <br />amidst the varied shades: <br />primary two, the others, hues <br />whose vapors dress the air. <br /> <br />For floral beauty lies <br />not just in the bouquet <br />nor in historic fame <br />but in the poet’s mind <br />and in the writer’s hand. <br /> <br />Let poets be inspired <br />Aurora’s rainbow band <br />arising arching bow <br />or passion of the Rose <br />from dusk to early morn – <br />the Beauty of the Thorn.<br /><br />Lorenzo Costigliolo<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/another-point-of-view/
