'Twas Not A Rose Poem by Subroto Chatterjee
'Twas Not A Rose
'Twas not a rose,
Though it had thorns.
Was it a pose?
Was it a con?
'Twas not a plant
But an implant
But 'twas not a rose
But pretty, pretty, prose.
'Twas what it did,
In a clever, clever bid,
It nefariously slid,
In whatever was hid.
'Twas a cunning plan,
Which went hand in hand;
'Twas a sharp tongue, and a sharper mind.
'Twas both that gave meaning to humankind.

Amit, Even I didn't think it the way you expressed your feelings about my poem. Phew! Now I await your dissection of 'One Day in The Life of Ivan Gesticulatovich'. Cheers. Subroto.

A fascinating poem with a nice tight structure (lovely rhythm) and an intriguing set of propositions which could be interpreted in so many ways. There is something of A A Milne about the piece and a hint of 'The Little Prince' too. Charming. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Good and bad...the pros and corns...together they exist in humankind as rose and thorns do in plants...the words there play a more insightful game...10
