the small pink rose
shed
two tiny tears
Protection
last year’s thorns
guard
this year’s growth
Remembrance Of The Forgotten
the fluidity of bloom
forgotten
the force of bloom
memorialized
Diamond Drops
the only tool needed
for mining beauty
was observation
Thorns
defensive
of even
the memory of beauty
Rose Bramble
delicate beauties
defended
by a century’s thorns
Thorns
could we meet
in the space
between the thorns
The Hereafter
the bloom
after the petal bloom
twice born rose
Armament
a lace of thorns
such fierce protection
the wild rose grows
Guardians
February thorns
protect the idea
of a rose.
