    The Rose

     Alluring and deadly
    she dances with the wind
    Tauntinly and cheerfuly
    towards her you desend
    ...your hand reach out in need
    to touch the beauty she bestows
    ...but the lovelyness that she posses
    is one you can never hold...the rose.

    such beauty and great use of imagery. I loved the first line of the poem too. it really showed that the rose has two sides. I love this poem.

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.
