In The Name of a Rose

Teddy.15

 
and so, after all
 

a rose wouldn't be a rose 

 
if she didn't glow.

    Teddy on first read and looking at the picture I took this to be a flower but then upon thinking about the word glow and seeing the note senryu emotion i thought no this is the name of a person. Clever use of ambiguity to create a dual image. Very nicely done my friend

      Good morning my dear sorrenbarret, as always you fill my page with grace and encouragement, every so often I like to practice my senryu, it's surely one of my most challenging and favourite forms, also my favourite flower and of course the name of so many who are special. 🌹 Thank you so much dear friend. 🌹

      Wonderful Senryu, Teddy. The beauty and allure of a rose in 17 syllables and a title...working well as a metaphor for a person. Excellent job, my friend! 🌹👏

      • Teddy.15

        I believe all women have the potential to be a rose, thank you dearest Tristan. 🌹

              being a rose, i feel she would - because she is the queen of flowers - but then the glow does add to its beauty for sure

              • Teddy.15

                Yes beauty, from both a flower rose and a lady rose 🌹 thank you dear NafisaSB 🌹
