Poem For Roses (created from the post below)

Many people ask me about how I create my poetry. I maintain that you can write a poem about anything. One easy way is to express your ideas about something, as I did on the post below, and then, condense those ideas into concise descriptive words, arranging them in a format you like. I often don't use any punctuation but I sure use that centre button!

The use of some stylistic devices, such as the alliteration I love so much, (repetition of initial or internal letter sounds) allows for a more interesting and appealing sound when it is read. Here it goes!

Grandma's Roses

early morning

at Grandma's house

two young girls -

my sister and I

greeting her garden

bending, stretching

deep inhaling

smelling roses

dew drops dripping

from perfect prize-winning petals

coral

yellow

white

ivory

each different hue

a variation on a theme

a scent to be savoured

and fast frozen -

encapsulated

in

the kodak moment

of our minds
