Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

From Bud To Full Blown Blossom

tiny pink buds
trimming little girls lace pinafores
one lone rose in a crystal vase at church
delighting those who take a whiff 

knock-out roses
neon and fabulous
showing off in the garden
marigolds and lilacs jealous 

yellow roses 
given by unsure suiter
who was afraid to choose the red ones
greeted with a fabulous smile 

white roses 
in bride’s bouquet
enhancing her virginity
delighting her father and mother
honoring Christ

L Milton Hankins March 29, 2021 at 7:10 PM Nice verse, well-written, Caren. Loved your explanation of the different colors of roses. Never really thought about that...what man does??? L Milton Hankins March 30, 2021 at 9:34 AM OK, I'm going to remember that...but, my once-in-a-lifetime true love is gone. Guess I'll just buy red roses for my own enjoyment! Caren Krutsinger March 30, 2021 at 3:05 AM I do not know, but do not give RED ones to anyone but your TRUE love or you will be in big trouble!
