Brandon Carter Poet Lyric

Garden Rose

Written August 21, 2013


There's a girl in the garden
She's messing with your rose bed
Plucking weeds out from your head
And watering the seeds in your bed

But where will she wander
When the roses are dead
Will she come back for more
When they turn back to red

She can run all alone
Write this story in stone
On concrete slabs
Of skin and bone

Debbie Duncan March 31, 2014 at 1:31 PM another nicely done poem, I like your style of writing :)

Andrea Dietrich September 22, 2013 at 9:20 PM another one with such an interesting style. You are more surreal than me so I don't always get it. But it takes many kinds to make the poet's world and I find you very creative. Brandon Carter September 22, 2013 at 10:48 PM Thanks! I sincerely enjoy and appreciate you're personal comments. I really enjoy writing with ambiguity and symbolism so it can be interpreted differently. If you want you should check out "In the Bucket" and "The Eyes on the Wall". They are my two favorite pieces I've written and are very different from one another.
