A Long-Stemmed Rose

Take a poetic journey with the author up the long-stemmed rose of life experiences that include smooth pleasant times such as a moonlit sailboat race in the Gulf of Mexico and the joy of a morning walk as well as life's prickly thorns when we're separated from those we love or when a hurricane comes to call. The author uses free verse along with many more formal poetic forms such as the sonnet, pantoum, and gloss.
