"A Summers Rose"
Was well written rich in theme and Imagery.
This brings me back to a time.
Long ago when my wife had just passed away.
And I wrote honorarium poem for her.
They said in the letter anything.
So I wrote this and it was put in a book called,
'Songs of Honor"
By Author House.
...
"Only One Single Red Rose" ð??¹
Along the cold, cold, Wintern banks.
When the Rain of Spring no longer would flow.
Green stem Blackened and no longer in bloom.
As, she awaited patiently.
Ever patiently for her impending Doom.
...
But in the Early Spring.
When the river again would flow.
In the Spings mist and dew.
Only One Red Rose ð??¹
Will renew.

This is a beautiful poem about the rose and I really enjoyed the rhymes and rhythm here.

I struggled with the metre in these two lines, may I suggest the following:

"The sultry sighs of summer wind
(that) whisper songs from far away;"

I wasn't sure what molten meant here and these two lines are out of metre:

"Renewal forms in petals molten,
to satisfy man's natural need.

Love Dolly x

    Thanks. I felt the meter was close enough. Look up molten in the dictionary. I bet you'll find a way to use it!

I don't remember seeing one of your poems before, but my memory is not very good. A nice rhyming poem with an outstanding picture. Just December 6?
