Roses

A reverse poem

By simplicityPublished 3 years ago • 1 min read

In Garbage  Short lived lives what beauty recorded amounting to Nothing more than added pieces of a midden mound  before becoming discarded trash  foul smelling, molded and soggy  Before it had an after life Demanding attention   sprouting buds  A guessing game of petals, he loves me he loves me not  In crimson glory  Blooming fully  Splayed out in the sun  Like a grave  With dangerous spikes   The roses of past Sent from my Galaxy
