Poem by Jack Harkness

A rose smiled at me from the hedge,
My heart responded happily.
And something nudged me from life's edge
As who was a rose, and who was me?
Between ourselves there's little but
A subtle change of chemistry.

  3. Hello Lydia!

    The poems and painting are both utterly beautiful. I was wondering if you were the one who created the painting. It is truly lovely! :D

    1. Hello,
      Welcome to my blog! How interesting!!!!! I believe I read this poem from the book of roses I have with various poems from different writers.
      Now that I have his name I will edit this post and add his name. He is a very talented poet!
      Have a great day!

  10. I was searching Google for this poem as I wish to share it with my fellow travellers on a natural medicine workshop weekend - I'd been contemplating the Pollen Way and remembered this verse, as it was written by my dear uncle, Jack. How surprised I was to see that my first cousin once removed had also found it on your blog last month! An inspiring start to my day! Thank you!
