Yellow Roses- Drawing and poem

I want to share with you my new rose- drawing and the poem "Time of Roses" by Thomas Hood. I like this poem because it reminds me of the first meeting with my soulmate @clains in the spring 5- 6 years ago and I think it fits nicely with this drawing.

Time of Roses

It was not in the Winter
Our loving lot was cast;
It was the time of roses—
We pluck'd them as we pass'd!

That churlish season never frown'd
On early lovers yet:
O no—the world was newly crown'd
With flowers when first we met!

'Twas twilight, and I bade you go,
But still you held me fast;
It was the time of roses—
We pluck'd them as we pass'd!

-Thomas Hood- 1798–1845

The process

I made the drawing with prismacolor pencils and white gel pen on black paper. I started with the orange colour and added the yellow and white on top and on the edges of the rose leaves.
