Notes About The Poem

For Karen Jones Contest Favories Footle, dated July 12, 2026

Broken Date


sunrise
surprise

today
The day

first date
I wait

nerves tense
live sense

mind swims
on dreams

I search
rose bunch

florist
shows list

red rose
I choose

sunset
I’m set

she comes
breeze hums

says hi
pitch high

sounds spurt
my heart

flower
charms her

fingers fold
she holds

thorn pricks
she shrieks

rose flakes
date breaks
