Quadrille # 12 – rose
~
Hey bud
isn’t it time you a-rose
sun’s been shinin’ for hours
and you’re still curled,
rolled up tightly
I’m waitin’ for a sign
a little flutter, a waft
of bouquet
this thorny behavior
has me pleadin’
my heart bleedin’
ready for bloomin’ pink
ADORE this! Clever and light 🙂

Oh my goodness, Candy! This is why we are kindred poetic spirits. We can both be sassy little rosebuds. Wish I had written this….but SO glad you did!! LOVE it.

Hmm .. sassy little rosebuds. I actually wanted a rosebud tattoo when I was in high school. Those were the days when only sailors had them – certainly not middle class high schoolers. Maybe its not too late 😉
