Ravings of a Rabid Werewolf - Poetry by Wolf - 2. A Rose

A friend of mine posted a picture on Facebook of the first flower on his rose bush. I have no idea what category of poem, if any, this would fall into or if I butchered this attempt. Regardless, here goes since I can't learn if I don't try.

The stunning red

The fragrant smell

A gift of life

The heart does swell

 

Its splendor is short lived

And will soon fade away

The beauty of a rose

Always brightens my day

This is beautiful in its simplicity. Well done! And don't sell yourself short. The only way to become proficient in any skill is to practice. A four line poem is called a quatrain. There are different rhyming patterns: AABB, ABAB, ABBA, AAAA. Yours, I believe, is written ABCB. Lines two and four rhyme. Lines one and three don't rhyme with each other or with two and four. I've also seen it written XAXA.  Often quatrains are put together to make longer poems. Keep up the good work! Jeff

This ode to transient beauty is lovely. Not only do I agree with you about roses, I love the way you show us how to appreciate the impermanent.
