Garage Roses, a Rhyme For Valentine's Day

Bitter spinsters in their nighties
Wedding rings of bright pyrites
Unrequited youthful crushes
Unwise lusts, unwanted blushes
Teddies trapped in pink balloons
And endless loops of sickly tunes 
In the garden, badly hidden
Garage roses on the midden

Wow Gail, love forlorn. They, being the casualties of romance and so many are there. Its a gut wrenching sadness . You spun the words so well here I wish it was my write. Nice to have you back.
