A Red Rose

A Poem

By Dylan LongPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

A red rose

Naturally red

So beautiful

And pure-bred

A black rose

Not natural color

But magnificent

Makes emotions whir

The red rose

Does not care

About the façade

It’s truly rare

It does not break

It doesn’t banter

It sits there

In harmonious cantor

It appreciates itself

Doesn’t change

It stays the same

Isn’t that strange

A red rose

Signifies love

A deep passion

Tight like a glove

A black rose

Symbolizes death

We don’t want that

Poisonous breath

Be like the red rose

Love yourself

Place one’s self

On the top shelf

But don’t judge the black rose

For it needs a little support

It is still just as beautiful

With a big heart
