At dVerse Merril is hosting Poetics with an invitation to choose from a list of rose names to write a poem about. I have chosen ‘Julia’s Kiss’
dVerse Poets – Poetics – Naming The Rose

“Kiss me and you will see how important I am.” Sylvia Plath
Julia's Kiss She was no child despite her finger hair curl distraction thing, her cheesecloth off-the-shoulder with garlanded hair, and her light, tinkling brook laughter, she kissed like a hungry, ravenous lion, like a growl, a roar of pleasure, a vibrato of the soul; Julia's kisses would always take us from mere bud to full bloom, she played strong.
