A Rose by any other
name would smell as sweet
Once upon a time I turned up my nose
when anyone mentioned rose.
Proliferation of lousy synthetic oils
made me choke.
But then I sampled rare rosa
alba, white rose,
Evoking scented heaven.
Rosa damascena captured next
my senses,
till Rose de Mai stole my affection.
Rose Maroc, Rose Otto,
Select just one? Oh, no! Oh, no!
Bulgaria,
Turkey,
France
Producing glorious scents
Aromatically divine, nature’s gift
Unsurpassed, sublime!
Comforting friends
Through smiles and tears
Our mystical rose conveys love
Calms fears
Rose water, rose attar,
Rose petals, rosy dreams
Exotic, Sub rosa
Engulfing my being
by Christi R. Pugh, for Nature's Gift
