Were I a rose -

Were I a rose -

   I would model graciously -

Oblige those of wise choice

   And prickle my enemy;

If just a blade of grass -

   I would blend in - nonchalant -

And peoplewatch as they pass

   With no desire to flaunt.

"and prickle my enemy" love that line, quite inventive.
Beauty when not flaunted...is precious...

An eloquent poem with pleasant verses, and an amazing use of comparative images. Thank you for sharing your work author Amy Michelle Mosier.
