Grey Roses

From the deep depths of bleak and somber dreams Those with grey roses living within them There’s painful feelings made inside, it seems The colors of the sky and the large farm Beautiful the dream is all but the rose They seem to be crying, having no charm Here deep inside the dream the heart arose Coming to rescue the broken rose bush Like giving lifesaving drink from a hose Now all roses turn colors are then lush Perfect dream fantasies give a sure rush Russell Sivey

Looks like a good terza rima with some good descriptiveness and rhyming.

the grey outlook, bleak sombre sook, awful, subtle, painful part, rose of grey, on a thorny day, me brains locked up in park.:) thank you, Russells "Grey Roses" made me do it. Don

Really. I mean REALLY, I am not on the Soup very much at all. The gods are good to me though...Because as I KEEP saying...some force tells me "SOUPS ON" and I take out this laptop and BOOM....You post a poem. It's the genie in a bottle type scenario...Keep on rollin' I guess. Your poems are powerful. And again, I am not a huge fan of poetry. I happened to be cursed or blessed by the "whatever in the world it is that speaks through me"....Ya' DiGG what I mean? Hope that don't sound too crazy!~JSL
