Exquisite#Daily Prompt#Attempt 56 Exquisite neat arrangement
Of petals of rose
Enhance its beauty
Showing his artistic stroke
With perfect colour
And exquisite fragrance
Attracting lovers of beauty
Ignoring its thorns…
Was about to comment in a blog about the poet who manages to write a poem EVERY day to fit the daily prompt — then suddenly found no poems from you. Was wondering whether you stopped – afflicted by the writer’s block I experience some times, lazy, postponing…procrastinating…going blank. Then I found this poem again. Nice to be reading again. I follow only 2 poets you and ‘Love It Now’ on WordPress.
Thank You so much sir! Yes sometimes post gets delay due to my busy routine schedule. Though I try to attempt daily! Doing it from last 56 days without a miss.
I’m honored to know you follow my blog. This is a big reward for me!
Wonderful… I was wondering if you had a philosophical thought behind the last two lines-“Attracting lovers of beauty, Ignoring its thornsโฆ”. I felt it said something like, people who can see your inner beauty will ignore your thorns or faults. I don’t know if you meant this, or if I’m just over thinking. Well, great job as always.
That’s great.. I always wonder why someone wrote what they wrote. A poet’s perspective is always intriguing to me. It would be great to know what you felt. Good choice of words, Ma’m.
It’s beautiful Meenakshi
They fall in love with rose
Blinded by the scent
Couldn’t see the thorns
And see that rose as
Perfection magnified
Later when they
Visit the garden
Time and again
The scent seems ordinary
And the thorns become prominent
And they blame the rose
You were hiding the thorns
For so long
The rose replied
They were out in the open
There wasn’t any cover
The rose stood there
As the season passed
The thorns become prominent
And the rose shed it’s petal
In submission
Once celebrating it’s beauty
Then fighting for it’s truth
It finally gave in to submission
The onlooker was happy
That he was proved right
And the thorns were prominent
The rose embraced silence
It knew it’s truth
And waited patiently for it’s
Season
To bloom again happily
Was just trying to comment but somehow couldn’t resist writing.
Perfect;
Thorns are often used for Attracting lovers, it great.
