Paper Rose Poem by RIC BASTASA

Paper Rose



you smell like a rose,
you look like a rose
you have some dew
on the petals of this red,
red rose,
but you do not wilt
until then
i know that you are
this paper rose
this fakery

then you say
you do not fear me
i do not intimidate you
for real

this paper tiger
