Red Rose, Crimson Beauty

the red rose is a thing of beauty when found among thorns; when found not among thorns. the past few months, even weeks have been thorn-like yes, but that is alright for the red rose stands despite the thorns that life brings upon it. the semester is over and the red rose finished the semester with a 3.7 gpa which was quite a surprise to her. the thorns that surrounded her during the semester still remains and how lovely it is to be standing at this time with her mind and heart in the right place. Oh, but the thorns shall not get in the way of her poetic efforts which are taking place at this time.

yes the atlanta journey is still on; just pushed back by a week or two. only able to stay for about four days and still by train....that is not going to change. my friend had her hernia surgery and she will be able to accomodate me still. also the poetry will be mailed on may 29 which is the day in which i will be 48 years of age and that is a gift to myself. if that is memorial day, the poetry will be mailed the following day. at least the poetry will be ready. i will be ready to visit June 6-10th. my thorns have cost a postponement again. that's ok, for the red rose will just get up and move again with a sense of inner strength and determination.
