Poem -

If there be a white rose

If there be a roseĀ 
mayhap it be white
growing lone in this strange
place
Of horror and fright

If there be a rose
it be hidden in thornsĀ 
for these years are mad
brambles
All wailingĀ  Ā  No song

no sunlight no ending no comfort
All stark
if there be a white rose then
This place be too dark

to ever find it,

M ~

This highlights in my opinion where poetry has it over other forms of writing. Such words as I see here come from a poetic heart and soul. They express emotion and feeling so much better than prose. And as I read your words I can definitely feel, as a fellow poet, from where these emotions emanate. I like the repeated refrain ofĀ  "if there be ...." and the sudden dramatic ending.Ā
