James Edward Lee Sr. Poet Dramatic Verse

Notes About The Poem

Gone Rose-

What are thou
but just a flower 
heart defiled
Gone
grown and strong tower 
waiting to be for the devoured 
by the pestilences sorrow
Grown
Infected infested jowls 
Rose bud where hast thine powers
Gone
But just of a flower
Withered and gone with no power
Bloom, stem, petals withered and devoured
Gone
Withering Rose what are thine now
Gone
