Like A Rose
You stand
Elegant,
And slim,
As the slender stem.
The blood
In your veins,
Juice from crushed petals.
Leaves are
Your friends,
And they are many.
But your tongue,
Your cutting tongue.
Is definitely
The thorns.

Wow. This is a perfect
Wow.
This is a perfect metaphor.
If that's truly what it is...
See, I'm still not the best with literary terms.
And it's so short, but it seems so long.
And it explains a ton.
Awesome write.
I agree
I agree with this is awesome.

Many Thanks
RiverVolta, I'm happy you got something from this piece, and just for the record, I'm not brilliant with literary terms either!

Lovely!
Dave, Such a lovely write. So prim and proper, like the rose itself.
Stunning.
I love it
