My Rose Poem

This is a poem about a rose.
I know.
What old woman is writing this?
Truth be told,
I got a little old lady in my head,
     lecturing me always on what's important,
And because I love her
     I'm giving her the day.
Plus,
     I hear Shakespeare thought it was sexy,
          and who doesn't want that feeling?

I love the rose,
      Lush,
           Deep,
The feel of thorns
      Pulling at my hands,
Remind me while I hold it
      that it holds me back.
