d’Verse – Tuesday Poetics: Summer Starter
~
under the summer roses
fallen petals wilt from
tender pink to brittle brown
forgotten as their beauty fades –
will our summer romance
follow

Walt is hosting a summer party at the pub and has given us some super examples of summer poetry, challenging us to take a line, phrase, or word and create something new.
I chose the line “under the summer roses” from “Under The Harvest Moon” by Carl Sandburg

Pretty Petals
Come pick some pretty flowers
from my backyard garden dear
the scents are quite alluring
oh, there’s nothing you should fear
Come pick some pretty flowers
maybe taste a dainty bloom
but should you choose unwisely
I’ll toss petals on your tomb

petal lanterns –
a waterfall of flowers
her lips touch mine

we cast just one shadow
