Rose, Are You Jealous? Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

Rose, Are You Jealous?

Rating: 5.0


Pretty rose tree, pretty rose tree
Why don’t you give me a rose today?

The rose showed me only her thorns.

Are you jealous that I have another rose
fixed on my coat button?

My pretty rose tree kept silent,
showed me only her thorns,
looked at the chattering sparrows around
not caring for my presence.

Pretty rose, pretty rose
are you jealous that I have another rose
fixed on my coat button?
