Twelve Red Roses in verse: (and more...) - Red Roses Series 1
Formats: E-Book, Paperback
Ages: 16-18, 18+
Twelve Red Roses in Verse offers a bouquet of moments, some tender, some passionate, some quietly aching. Each poem stands alone, yet together they form a story: of connection, distance, longing, and belonging.
There’s warmth here, but also honesty. A recognition that love changes shape over time. That the same rose can bloom, bruise, and bloom again.
This collection doesn’t promise fairy tales. It offers something better truth told with care, and beauty that lingers long after the last line. Winner of the Literary Titan Silver Book Award, Twelve Red Roses in Verse has been recognised for its emotional depth and lyrical clarity.
If you’ve ever handed over a rose without quite finding the words… this collection understands.

5 Stars - King does it again! Passion in poetry with pen— delicious! King’s words are an elixir for the heart and soul providing the love desired but rarely felt …. Ah, but he delivers here. His words send waves of emotions through the reader with each heart-felt verse and, for me, my very being filled with joy from the love imbued. Bravo, Mr. King! Keep the love flowing from heart to pen please. - Julie Kusma
5 Stars - Love is true forevermore Fifty beautiful poems about love forevermore. Each poen has a Roman numeral of rose blossoms just above the title of each poetic piece. That alone makes this book a one of a kind. But the best is found within the words written about enduring love when missing one who is across the ocean and a forevermore love whether apart or in times of together. The essence of pure love and joy shines via the words in a brilliant manner that is swoon worthy. Never let Derek go, Julie! As if you could, entwined together. - Mary Schmidt
