Roses are pure snow white and crimson blood
Pouring into an evergreen puddle like crestfallen angel crying
To show their bittersweet grace.

The author's comments:
One day I went on a walk next to my grandparents garden, and I saw roses that were red and white. In my head, I was automatically inspired to write a poem that expressed my thoughts of how roses try to express themselves in our world, even though they are just roses.
