on the subject of roses

does it hurt to be
a thorn
on the rose?

I do not know such
things,

sometimes the
sting of words
rains tears in my eyes
and my lips start to bleed...

sun drenched veins on the leaf
surge through apple-buttered skies

words fall to the wayside,

roads we have yet to travel
to roses we have yet to touch.

Great Anna

I see no room for improvement to suggest. I love the way it reads

"I love that picture of you, like a true Southern Belle or Northern Lady" i appreciate this statement you made about my picture, thanks I just notice it.
