When I tip the laptop screen (or myself) back a bit,
this rose takes on new life and color! If you have a photo-edit program, you can maybe get that effect, should you want it, by decreasing highlights and slightly increasing contrast.
As is, the softness is very sweet and delicate. I can't help but play with the colors, though.

Yes, I want to be taller on a regular basis and appreciate others who do. At least it may be good entertainment for those who view our antics to reach things. Awesome poem, will have to read a second time to really get it.

Re: Many years ago my mother-in-law, who was not prone to morbid
Charming idea of your Mum's, I wonder if she ever had one. Perhaps you should make the Nun 51 Pat that might be stretching it a bit.

Re:

Re: Ciel...
The moon was a Ghostly Galleon sailing the stormy seas. Something like that I think Ciel. Sadly I lost the sentiment about the moon when men stood upon its surface. .

Re: Adnohr
A bit morbid, but near to the truth as anyone can tell. A very late rose I thought a shame to waste a brave effort.

Impressive poem...
It reminds me of one my sister had to memorize in school, called THE HIGHWAYMAN. This was like the sequel, and more powerful.

I don't know about being taller, but I do know what a wonderful work you have posted here. I found the poetry to be powerful and moving, the kind of thing I wish I could write with as much ease as you...Well done CCT, well done indeed.

Yeah, sometimes I wish I were taller, but in most incidences my height is adequate. And no, I never get a flu shot! For some reason, my system is doing just fine, and I very rarely get sick! Must be all those apples . . .

We will be getting our flue shots soon as well. That is an awsome poem....very disturbing really... how many secrets does every corner of England hold. Myth grown from a truth??? You are brilliant...I shall take the rose thank you!

Many years ago my mother-in-law, who was not prone to morbid
thoughts, said she thought the flu shots were a government conspiracy to get rid of the old people so as to save money on pensions. Your graveyard poetry reminds me I need to start on plot outline and characters for National Novel Writing Month - The dream/idea about the 71-year-old pregnant nun is going to need a bit of TLC if it's to bloom into a real story.
