Another Point Of View Poem by Lorenzo Costigliolo

Another Point Of View

Rating: 5.0


The beauty of the Rose
by any other name
would be as sweet its scent
as its redolent essence is
so scripted ever since.

But, see not just the blossom
on the wandering vine
amidst the varied shades:
primary two, the others, hues
whose vapors dress the air.

For floral beauty lies
not just in the bouquet
nor in historic fame
but in the poet’s mind
and in the writer’s hand.

Let poets be inspired
Aurora’s rainbow band
arising arching bow
or passion of the Rose
from dusk to early morn –
the Beauty of the Thorn.

I love these poems, especially because I never have to hunt the dusty dictionary on it's shelf; a writer who uses common day expressions even in his classical style writing, is as rare as someone who can appreciate the thorn of the rose.

I just close my eyes to feel the words caress such a beatiful rythym
