Miniature Red Rose Bush
Produced Roses Each Day for Six Years
Miniature
Love
Spring - you came to me
a budding miniature rose bush
with a deep red hue that
holds
dew drops between her petals
your natural radiant beauty
that
showered me with delicate
buds
bringing me happiness for days
to my surprise coming one
last time
a single miniature rose bud
for me
to entwine with grateful joy
snow to put you to sleep
resting safely
until the following Spring
and then you
will peek again through the
soil -
structure of miniature love

Dear Rhoda,
ReplyDeleteI like the feel of this poem. The seasonal changes flow well. New look for Expressions! I really like it. Keep on sharing your words my friend. Always nice to come to this poetry haven.
Love,
Karen
Thanks Karen - I like to change the look every couple of months and change the caption at the top. I try to be inspiring and of course, the book background works well for me. Always appreciate your loyal support my poetry friend...rg
ReplyDeleteEloquent and rich is "Miniature Love," Rhoda. I am actually desiring that the summer come to me, lol, but I am touched by the meaning and illustration of each season you have expounded on. Thank you for sharing this. Continued blessings! -MJ
ReplyDeleteDear Maurice - I was so sad when my Miniature Rose Bush died. I bought it at the grocery store and to my amazement it grew to be three feet tall. Each Fall I would cut the bush back and each year it would grow again and produced beautiful Miniature Red Roses. I am not a Rose person, but this Rose Bush captured my heart...rg
ReplyDeleteAnother elegant poem so well written. I had a couple of miniature rose bushes that I had for several years bought from a grocery store. I too was always amazed that in the spring time they would come out of hibernation and bloom once again. I was sorry to leave them behind when I moved from Az. Thanks for the reminder of the joy I felt as I beheld the first rose buds open in the Spring.

Dear Charlene - I am tempted to buy another Miniature Rose Bush because I miss her gift so much. I have 3 small bud vases sitting empty, they are waiting for her precious gift. Thank you for the comment...rg
