My entry into the Fabulous new Bountry4Love Poetry Competition. Deadline 19th June.

The Blushing Rose Awaiting Real Love

A rose innocent and pure
A beauty heaven scent
Every petal is demure
An existence well meant.
It is clothed in perfection
Blushing with correction,
Pure white tinted pink
Beauty on the brink.

A picture out of fiction
A life's contradiction.
Beauty can hide
Evolution inside.
A bud waiting to escape
The layers of red tape

The shy English rose
Hides what, who knows
Behind the blush
And plumage lush
Give inside beauty a chance
To develop and advance
A lovely surprise is in store
For The One who wants more.
