A Thorn Alouette

You don't ever pierce Though your look is fierce Each rose is safe in your hold. Green snakes scroll around. Flies move with no sound In heat and cold, you stand bold. As rose buds feel dread Your sharp claws you spread Are you their unseen backbone? Each rose fades and falls When Time, from far, calls Do you mourn for them alone?

Chris, such a plaintive verse of fading beauty with a touch of melancholy! I love the reference to the thorns that protect the rose like a "backbone!" So creative! Congratulations on your win! Blessings! Always wonderful to hear from you.

No one will think of writing about a thorn. But you chose to write on it and have done a great job. "Each rose fades and falls When Time, from far, calls". I feel sad when flowers wither and die, especially roses. Today in our area, five medical students died in an accident and three are critically injured.... So sad! Congratulations Chris on your win.
