the aesthetic value of a rose. poem & pictures by (me!) sandra, tvgp
the
aesthetic value of a rose
grateful to be seen
as measured by the eyes, mind, soul
-the average, then the mean
petals counted, color factor
size and weight and length
fragrance test
what smells the best
perfumed layered dream
the aesthetic value of a rose
is a number not
it is manifest
and co~creates
happy
loving
thoughts
friendship, romance plots
broken hearts it props
loneliness it stops
smiles; it yields a lot
congratulations * how are you * sorry that you're hurting
milestones * gravestones * you're the best * people who are flirting
forgive me please
i'm on one knee
i like, i love, i want you
a budding rose shows
what open hearts know
its never too late to be you
let this season seize you
anytime
but just before each bloom
the space reserved expands with joy
as beauty fills the room
the aesthetic value of a rose
is a number not
unlike the long stemmed dozen
its impact cant be bought.
~ i sure like them a lot.
