			A rose 
 
 
A rose, when comes she into bloom 
demands, from others, the room 
to blossom forth with heaven’s scent, 
and cares she not for dull dissent.  
 
A rose, when scent of her is spice, 
doth remove, from others, icy 
thoughts, in her controlling bid to be 
the one in bed, who’s living free. 
 
A rose, when petals fall,  
remains the belle at the ball; 
no sense of doom she feels 
as Summer Time wheels 
along; she knows a second flush 
comes forth in Season’s rush, 
as maiden once, again, may blush. 
 
A rose, when all is said and done, 
doth charm and stun, 
a beauty in her form and scent 
a prize to us; from heaven sent.
