Description
Once upon a time
in a land of castles and unicorns
where all who lived there
believed in romance
and magic, too
a giant rose tree grew
Unlike any other
the rose tree was
bigger and more beautiful
than any rose tree ever
the trunk so sturdy and gnarled
it looked like it had been
growing forever.
Each rose bloomed so full
as if bursting with sunshine and bliss
so perfect in every way
scented with the sweet perfume
of a smile and a kiss.
And everywhere the petals fell
another blossom grew
and not a single thorn
no wonder
gentle creatures gathered
beneath this enchanted tree
for every rose
seemed to be
the colors of a unicorn.
The whites so innocent and free
the pinks so tender and happy
year after year
beauty and hope reborn
with a healing light
growing from within
just like the heart
glowing within a unicorn.
Some people questioned
how could this be
where did this rose tree come from
what kept the rose tree going
must be a mystery from above
but, of course,
the unicorn knew
what made the rose tree bloom
and grow so strong
and live so long
no mystery from below or above
it was the magic of love.
Unicorn Rose Tree prose by Carol Cavalaris©
A giant forever rose tree growing in an enchanted land, blooming in the colors of a unicorn. Inspired by a rose called 'Snow Ballet', from Brigitte's rose garden in France. Created in Photoshop, using modified unicorns by Ilona, snow ballet rose photos, butty (modified) by jaguarwoman, and painting techniques.
Hope you enjoy. :o)

Sweet work Carol simply fantastic!!
anahata.c
This is for adults and children, Carol, and your poem---filled with some delicate rhyme, coming in different places, like little surprises---feels like the poem of a children's book, filled with invitation and magic. (And I love how 'love' is the thing that makes all this happen. There's been a lot of love as a theme in your images of late...) The trunk is pure magic-tree stuff, the type of magic trees that fill the best children's illustrations. And also which are described in some of the ancient scriptures of India and other places...as well as our Medieval Europe. Ie, providing trees. Protecting trees. Spiritually imbued trees. One expects a creature to come out of it, giving directions to someplace far away, where a treasure awaits...Beautiful detail in the furls---this would be great to see large.
And there's a cavern in the upper trunk---the trunk falls into a cavern of some sort. (What would your art be without caverns and recesses?) And from that? The roses. The roses here are like a vast flower garland, or a crown. They really do make this feel like a children's fantasy kingdom. You've articulated this so delicately. And there's a castle land in the background, surrounded by mists. And a sky filled with lights, and light mixing with that rust peach toned sky. (Like it's all powdered with a rouge mixed with ginger or some other spice.) And the unicorns have your usual balletic form for certain animals. With a sea of grass and petals, and more flowers (and a butterfly) in the foreground. It would make a perfect cover to a book of tales, ancient and magical. It's enchanting and delicate and speaks to the child in everyone. Beautiful work Carol, once more...

anahata.c has said it all! Beautiful intertwining of prose and mystical art!
