A single drifting rose

A single rose sprouts from a bush

It's the only one

It grows bigger and bigger as the days pass

It is both beautiful and deadly

The soft aromatic scent and soft petals

The long slender stem lined with sharp pointy thorns

A single drifting petal flows through the air

Moving away from the rose

It lands on the ground left alone

The rose survives through the icy cold winter and hot baking summers

But not once did it falter or shrivel

This rose lives on and on.

Radiating its beauty

This rose is Keladry of Mindelan

Rose of Tortall and Yamani Islands

Rose of courage and bravery

Rose of death and beauty

A single drifting rose

A/N: I wrote this poem for the ladies that are deadly and strong, underestimated by others. An example of strength and courage coming from a woman. I also wrote this poem for those writers who describe Keladry as both beautiful and deadly. I think those people will know who they are. Thanks and Please Review it will be very much appreciated.
