Rose Poem by Sharad Rajimwale

Rose

Rating: 4.5


The Rose that swayed
in cool breezes
and wantoned with birds
and butterflies

stands in a corner now
lit up in bright drawing room
glinting vases and
photo frames for company

its head drooping low
drying, withering, wilting -
they come and admire it
not as a Rose but as one
more appropriate item
for the room...

Well conceived and insightfully penned. A witty unveiling of reality, what a pity! Thanks for sharing Sharad.

So true. The beautiful rose loses its charm and becomes just another ornament in the drawing room. Nice poem.
