Blue Roses

Blue Roses by Maureen F..
Blue Roses

Roses red and roses white
Plucked I for my love's delight.
She would none of all my posies--
Bade me gather her blue roses.

Half the world I wandered through,
Seeking where such flowers grew.
Half the world unto my quest
Answered me with laugh and jest.

Home I came at wintertide,
But my silly love had died
Seeking with her latest breath
Roses from the arms of Death.

It may be beyond the grave
She shall find what she would have.
Mine was but an idle quest--

Roses white and red are best!

Rudyard Kipling

I love blue, I think I've said that before on some of your other shots, and blue roses are the bees' knees' as far as I'm concerned. I once owned a business called Blue Rose Writing, and coming up with the marketing package was my favourite part of the enterprise!

I love blue roses, no matter how they are achieved. I like the intense blue in this one. It has a fascinating three-dimensional quality -- it seems like you can fall right into the depths of the elegant swirls of petals. Faved.

I wonder if Kipling would (or could) have written that poem if he'd known about Photoshop. :-)
