Words on paper
Set in motion
Sights and sounds and smells

Feelings bloom like Springtime flowers
Underneath the waning moon

Tender leaves and twisting stalks
heavy flower heads,
sweet and musky
soft and pale
see the flowers bloom

Nighttime fragrance reaches out
touching lovers with a kiss

Morning's dawn reveals the splendor
dainty heads reach through the mist

People travel to and fro
so few take the time to see
"Take the time to smell the roses"
for they bloom for you and me.

Paper Roses

Words on paper

Sights and sounds and smells

Feelings bloom like Springtime flowers
Underneath the waning moon

Tender leaves and twisting stalks
heavy flower heads,

Nighttime fragrance reaches out
touching lovers with a kiss

Morning's dawn reveals the splendor
dainty heads reach through the mist

People travel to and fro
so few take the time to see
"Take the time to smell the roses"
for they bloom for you and me.

I really wanted the fifth line to end rhyming 'smells'. I think it would have made this piece very special, other than just plain 'special', which is a nice enough accolade in itself, I expect, but . . . I think you get my drift - I really appreciate the rhythm of this piece, it is soft and lulling.

Really fine read, Carol.

I tend to agree with Goose ... well and everybody else that chose to comment. Even with En Eff and thought that a rhyme while not essential there ... would have worked nicely.
( maybe ... as petals they soon fell ? )
( but then bloom would seem out of synch )
Never mind Carol ... pay no heed to my rambling. You did fabulous.
