A Single Red Rose
A single red rose on my pillow
Sweet-smelling cologne
Invaded my
Nous, while its
Glitzy petals
Lie quiescent in the moonshine
AWOL the sunshine
Rosette’s spiny stalk
Encased with golden silver trimming
Draped my singular reddish rose
Roseate dawn
Overtook the dusk
Silencing nocturnal prattle, that
Entered my chamber
At the dawning ascension
A single red rose on my pillow betrothed my forgiveness

The only,
The only thing i'd change in this beautiful poem is, take the Y away from silvery. Really enjoyed this poem. Love Roscoe...

Thanks Roscoe
I made the change and think it better also
I like your signature it is so true
i just finished writing this a few minutes ago.
i guess Chrys cliche' workshop inspired me to write this so i can experiment with more uncommon words in my poetry.
