Wild Rose . . . (Rosa spp.)  Native to North America.
Crisp, clear, unambiguous form. In the Picture/Poems collection,
one of my favorite miniatures is this one:

Flowers are to the background green of meadow and forest
what a well-made poem is to the constant chatter of
sounds which surrounds us. How strikingly beautiful
they are, these centers where essences converge.
