English Roses (Amended)
Does love excite
those lips un-kissed
and castles in the air
compare
to English roses?
The darkness of
timeless dreams
resonate to utterances
straining
in the breeze
And if by chance
a voice conveys
a raging cyclone
will you speak of love
and love...
alone?
2001

| I think it has been established here and everywhere else that each poem can mean many different things to different people. I am not eloquent enough to explain why, but English Roses speaks to me. Maybe it is because the Graham Thomasas speak volumes to me...as does love. This poem seems to bubble along reminding me of a woodland stream. Kudos |

| Oh the wonderful feeling just before a first kiss, and the fantasy of castles in the air, beautiful imagery. But how do they compare to English roses? My own thought is that roses are often a strong symbol of love. I suppose it’s something for everyone to decide for them self. The end is a question of significance, if you have the power to proclaim love, then will you proclaim love, a challenge perhaps or simply a question of how much love a person has. From my mind and in my interpretation a beautiful poem! |

| Thoughtful and light at the same time. I loved the comparisons you made, but the end left me wanting more. Still a very smooth read with each line adding to the last. |

| Lyrically and in reality the breath was breathless; however, the lie was just a lie, time and again is correct. Thank you friends. |
