Analysis of Roses Aren't The Only Flowers
Roses aren't the only flowers,
oh yes, they can speak volumes.
Though I'm not a rose, my whisper can solve problems.
Brilliant a color rose can burn
My shades reduce a sting
It speaks words others yearn
My difference speak many things
Soldiers marching up its spine
I tulip, have a vine!
