Valentine Saturday

My sweetheart sent me roses!

Perfection is a Rose 

by Raymond A. Foss

A red, red rose, 

posing in the vase on the counter

a reminder of the beauty of summer

                               of the smell of a full bouquet

the effortless, flawlessness

the perfection of a rose

                             supple petals, thorns to protect

even color, deep burgundy red

rich saturation of red

soothing red, passionate red

                                   enshrined in the bloom

                                the bud opening in its glory

look at me!

 Happy Valentine's Day!

May god richly bless you with love and    and warm hearts!
