Janet August 9, 2019 Haiku, Word Challenges

The Rose

Virgin innocent

The world has deflowered you

Yet beauty still blooms

Delicate petals

Will fall and return to dust

As your spirit soars

RDP Friday: Return & Word of the Day Challenge: Delicate

    Janet, I just read this poem again, and it still hits me hard. Short, sweet and true of our life’s journey. This poem is love and a hug. Simple and beautiful. Well done ❤
