Blue Roses

"Blue Roses"

Violets of red,
Roses of blue,
What have we done to you?
With our genetic selection
To reach colour perfection
We have forgotten
It was you as you were
Growing wild and tall
That we truly loved
Best of all.

What a clever poem.

Genetic manipulation is one of my lingering concerns in the world.

Who knows what the consequences are going to be for generations to come.

No one really knows.

You really have a talent for writing and performing.

I look forward to seeing more of your work.

Take care

Nova

@NovaSpace888 Thank you, Nova :) There is much room for improvement in my writing and performance, but I am ever so lucky to be able to have an audience for both and receive such nice feedback.

Dear Raven, your poem made my heart beat faster for an instant. Well done.

My sister was named Rose ..It strikes a cord in my Soul.

Lost her six years ago on good friday... April 18th

She would have loved to meet you I am sure ...

Thanks Raven:

@Remotec1 I would have liked to meet her very much too - and Rose is a beautiful name :)

@TheRavenOfPoe

I'd have prefered a "thank you." as you can say just about anything nicely without making a jot of sense. :-p

I always imagine that labrats come out on top somehow, even if they happen to be flowers. And besides someone has to look out for whoever recieved a blue rose as their most special gift. Without siding with the villain of the story ofc...

Also, I always like discussing poetry for poetrys sake.

[TheRavenOfPoe]

nicely said :)

[TheRavenOfPoe]
