The smell of a rose
It tickles my nose
But will you know
If I do not say so
The drop of the rain
It brings me pain
The sound of the thunder
And my mind falls under
A spell from you
Brings my love to
The touch of a pricker
Then a sudden flicker
Brings the pain
That you will not know
If I do not say so

The author's comments:
This poem was really inspired by a children's book called English roses i was looking to write a poem and the thing of roses just came to me. i then took the sense of this person smelling the rose and touching the pricker and the sound of thunder so you can feel what she or he felt.
