Trailing Roses
I have written several
poems about roses; they were my late mother’s favourite flower, and are mine
also.
TRAILING ROSES
Dawn, a golden haze
among trailing trellis roses;
trees, dripping rainbows
on grasshoppers signing in
another day
Rooftops, sheets of glass
where birds pause to preen
a feather or two before
taking off to help usher in
another day
Bubble wrap skies, cue
for sleepyheads to wonder
why on earth heaven
is raising the alarm for just
another day
Sun rising, world trailing
after trellis roses like a lover
left for dead…
yet to rediscover fool’s gold
another day
By noon, trellis roses
getting up the noses of those
who know no better
than to repeat their mistakes
another day
At dusk, nature playing
its daily nocturne to anyone
who cares to listen,
dares even show a sad world
another way
