Marriage

by Tennyson313

Man is a thorn, woman a rose, One will prick and the other pose. Perhaps that is why I suppose They intertwine till flower shows, And then thorn gives way to rose.

Annette M Velasquez
An interesting, innovative write. The compactness, rhyme and images all combined to make this a well- written poem. Your use of metaphor is also effective. Nicely done.
