It is worth noting that this haiku isn't as straightforward as it may seem by just a casual read. The poem isn't about guaranteed forgiveness but rather a rose as a stepping stone to forgiveness. And as others elsewhere have noted the rose can be a metaphor for healing or an offering on the way to forgiveness and healing. But the rose is a metaphor that doesn't necessarily denote a flower that is one form of a stepping stone to forgiveness. There are nuances here worth noting.

Thanks so much, brother. Glad you enjoyed the poem as well as the followup. My friend from Israel liked this poem by me and she almost never likes my poems these days. For her to like a poem says I must have done something right. lol

Catlady2710: Thanks Michael. They are calling them Argos for short, and this the second time they won the Grey Cup in the last 3 years. Nov 20, 2024 11:41:41 GMT -6

Catlady2710: Good morning

Last night, our football team - The Toronto Argonauts (I didn't even know we had a football team to my shame) won the Grey Cup! Nov 18, 2024 11:11:38 GMT -6

Catlady2710: Hi everyone - we got a message from Staples today saying that the laptop was ready for pick-up so we will go tomorrow morning to pick it up. Nov 11, 2024 11:44:57 GMT -6
