Red Rose And Yellow Ivy Poem by Bernard F. Asuncion

I-vy with evergreen leaves
V-ery well grows on the outside;
Y-ellowish and small blossom has long stems she cannot hide.

R-ed flower though with thorns
O-ften lures both eyes and nose;
S-ometimes due to excitement
E-ager palms bleed before rose.

T-wo pretty flowers in one,
I-n delight and in bloom;
A-mazing beauty brings a thrill,
M-aking sadness stays in gloom.
S-weet perfume is shared
O-n September twenty-five;
N-ew dawn smells the aroma, letting the day start alive.

A-wesome lovely flowers
L-et the morn slowly break;
C-omfort and much mirth
A-re here to replace the ache.
N-ight shadows have turned
T-o two colors of vitality;
A-llow me to just deliver
R-ed rose
A-nd yellow ivy.
