Create Your Dream Garden 
A Poem for a Woman Named Rose
Submitted by mgodfrey on May 15, 2009 – 12:05 amNo Comment
It’s hard
to write a poem
for a woman
named after a flower,
a plant, a tree, a season.
You feel like whatever you write
has to be beautiful,
smell good
drink sun that
you need to be gentle
when you touch it
see it shake, dance
when you talk to it &
wherever you place it,
everything around it
looks better
