You are alike to a fine paper rose
Perfectly crafted, scarlet and snow white.
Within your eyes the paper rosebud grows
Sanguine and bright, the most beauteous sight.
A petal of white ~ a petal of red
Blend into pink as they shamelessly blush.
Colours of you, how they go to my head,
Remind me of summer, sun kissed and lush.
My paper rose crinkles, held in my palm;
So softly, gently the sound greets my ears.
Retarding my heartbeat ~ tranquilly calm,
As soft as raindrops ~ god's heavenly tears.
Flower of nature must die heretofore
Flower of paper may live evermore.

A lovely write Alan - ahhh, all about me?! heehee.
Indeed Steve, Thank you for being you.
Ex animo, Alan
You old romantic you. This splendid write is reminiscent of yesteryears classical love poetry.
Thanks ALAN for posting a perfect SONNET in STRUCTURE (Three quatrains with Rhyme pattern abab bcbc etc and a doublet ff) and SUBJECT ~ Paper Roses ! It reminded me of the Love song by Marie & Donny Osmond ! In esence it is ironic that PAPER ROSES outlive genuine ONES ! However we often preserve Rose Petals by pressing & drying them to preserve them ! I love the Sincerity and Love that throbs through this Poem ~ very very romantic !
Blessings & Peace & Joy & Love to YOU & YOURS
Yours ANGELA & BRIAN 🧡💙🧡💙🧡💙🧡
Thank you for being here A&B. I'm pleased that you enjoyed this poem. I think sonnets are best written as 'romantic' and roses are the darling buds of May.
Ex animo, Alan

Ex animo, Alan
