Barbara Gorelick Poet Tanka

Her Yellow Rose

I had a great friend
growing roses her passion
one favorite bloom
deep yellow, its fragrance sweet-
growing by her sheltered seat

a fragile woman
joyful like her rose petals
her last breath foreseen
Near her headstone they planted
her yellow rose "Enchanted"...
