Red Rose in the Vase

Red rose in the vase,

velvet touch in quiet stillness--

the smile on your face.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Hope y'all like this little poem. The adjective "quiet" should be pronounced as one syllable, to produce the 5-7-5 syllable structure of the Japanese haiku. Notice the textural associations suggested by the images, the alliterations, & the rhymes.
