William, I stumbled on this older poem of yours as it was listed in the POPULAR POETRY - Nature box found on the side of the page when viewing a poem. I clicked on it and was very much impressed. I'm still learning about this site and marvel at the fact that a 3 year old posting would still be highlighted in such a manner. I often read your more recent works and have even commented occasionally. The site seems to be serving you well. Love your work. Dick

Well done, thanks for sharing your poetic talent.

God Bless You and Your Loved Ones

Well I wish I could sit all day and watch all the beauty of the world that I am surrounded by, but as you say there isn't time for everything, what a shame. You write beautiful words William. Thank you.

So beautifully written.

William, the blooming rose reminds me of death...we never know the exact moment it will bloom as we never know when it is our last second. You've capture a beautiful painting here and I truly loved every line!

This a beautifully written poem
William we must take time to open our minds
That rose can open a heart!
Excellent written I felt feelings
of longing throughout the page!
Your choice of words have captured
beautiful imagery and great vividness!
Love Peace and Joy And hugsss to you always...Yolie

Excellent writing as always sweet man...HUgssssss

for one, just wish
I could sit here all day
And enjoy
The beautiful vision
She will become
When fully bloomed.

So do I!

A beautiful flower and one wishing to become a hummingbird, a bee or at least the poet that praises her beuty.
Well done.

Nooooo, sit there and enjoy creation and the peace and quietude it brings, why the rush?

Did you know that there are rose which have no thorns? But that's just trivia. We always associate roses with thorns. I often think that it is God's way of reminding us of His crown of thorns which through suffering produced such beauty of salvation. Victor

William....very relaxing read, excellent write...Hugs, Peggy

to everything, turn, turn. . .. such a loverly look inside your little microcosm, what inspirations lay beneath the everyday if we only take TIME, open hearts and minds. . .. eloquent write.
