Gone With the Wind

Areola of rose,
           blushing,
              blossoming,
                 promising 

The thorny-stem whistles
            thirsty
               posthaste       
                  vainglorious

The crabapple-peach
            spurns the rakish stem
               pretends to twirl
                  capriciously unloyal

The un-civil war
            an unbecoming ghost
               Tara's salvation
                  the groom gone with the wind

The impassioned rose
            scarlet and needy
               a Southern conquistador
                  hopeless and heartless

Vows to seek her groom
            relentlessly
               frankly for honor
                  scheming in the morrow
