Excellence Award in the 'Play On Words 2021' competition

Delicate petals
Companion of the sun
Immune to rain
Yet wounds our palms
One innocent glimpse
Is all it takes
To fall in love
With beauty's brain
Oh flawless rose
Share your secret
Your pulchritude
exceeds the limit
Don't make us fools
In our own world
Oh flawless rose
Share your secret
