Arbor of Roses

. ;;;;;;;;;Deep in the garden,. old roses have grown;;;;;;;;;; ;;;;;;;;;The fragrance still lingers from times long ago;;;;;;;;; ;;;;;;;;;Follow the flagstones, worn from the years;;;;;;;;;;; ;;;;;;;;;To hear little songbirds, and memories flow;;;;;;; A timeless old path, weathered and old meanders beneath it, now feathered in dust Firmly it's tethered, and warmed by the sun While ancient love stories will never be gone. Now tangled, entwined are love stories to tell of heartbreak that came and of tears to unfold. Rose petals would fall like the heartbreaks that bled While winter storms rose with words left unsaid. Storm clouds passed over then a bittersweet spring And bright sunny days shone woven lace webs. A full winter's moon shone sequin heirlooms while spinning in tune a new morning bloom The sweet morning dew, ... a love grew climbing high ..... red roses bloomed, to reach the sky shines refused to die. roses and arbor, ..... belonging together. old friends, longer partners, interwoven this arbor and vine ..... rosebud entwined.. together today no together for always.. ..... sun ..... the ..... until ______________________________________________________________________

"Hmmmm," I am NOT going to be a stickler. I love the verse. My understanding of Concrete verse is a poem shaped like a ball about a ball. So, I might agree with you this is Shape only because it speaks of Garden and Path as well as Arbour BUT...If line 1 said "Beneath this arbour where loveliness resides...." and then on line 3/4 "this arch so weathered with it's wandering path" Then there would be no question the whole verse is focused on the Arbour. OR Title..The Path Beneath the Rose Arbour?
