Brick Red Rose

See, that brick red rose. Its naked velvety rose attracts wanton worms. See, a worm is coming, licking its clammy lips, from that breathless rose. See, ants are now running, running all around, holding lumps of petals. Revised Dec. 11, 2020 IMAGIST any form Poetry Contest Contest sponsor: Brian Strand
