Earth Mother’s warm embrace...Fertile womb bears nectar sweet...

TENDER ROSE OF SHARON Broken light Cascades the garden mist Refractive effervescence Prism from the morning dew Ablaze in the sacred garden Springs tangerine glow Illustrious jeweled blossom Soft Hibiscus petals As delicate angel’s wings Ruby throated humming birds Surround her throne in reverence Perfect Bride so fair Amaranthine seduction Earth Mother’s warm embrace Fertile womb bears nectar sweet Precious portal to life immaculate Fruitful lady indeed Her sublime buds ebullient Sacred gift from God above In honor of His glory Stunning Rose of Sharon How vivid is her beauty Such pleasure she bestows Symbolic Majestic Feminine Grace exudes from her delicate folds In timeless ceremony © Bill Grimes Jr. 2006

Well done! Excellent choice of words for this work. Images fairly leap off the page.

Resonates with me as a father of a daughter named Sharon. I read a passage from the bible at her wedding that drew this description out for the congregation to hear.

This poem does indeed echo the rich metaphoric imagery of Song of Songs. I am partial to chapter 5 'what is your beloved more than my beloved that you should charge us' (to look for him). A lovely allegorical picture of Christ.

As with the descriptions used by Solomon, there is nothing touched by human hands used in your poem to describe the beauty of the rose.

So sweet, so juicy. What a marvelous poem! Thanks my friend Bill Grimes Jr. And the picture is wonderful and matches the beauty and tenderness of Sharon. Kudos
