I wrote this poem while sat outside Jon's Forge workshop. Inspired by the wild roses dotted around the farm yard ⚘ 

The symbol of a rose

inflicts much emotion

soft velvety petals

flowing like an ocean !

bright hues of colour

and aromas so sweet

bombarding the senses

like a tantalising treat

so soft and so mystic

yet hidden from sight

sharp thorns that draw blood

in the dark depths of night

this symbol of a rose

it's beauty laid bare

hold close to your heart

and treat with great care
