Mystic Rose Rose Poet Footle

I Am A Rose Footling In Prose

poetic feet
trodling repeat 

writing in spurts 
until it hurts 

words incomplete
ready to meet 

taking a seat 
I type it neat  

what was all blank  
is now top rank   

words oh so sweet 
you could just eat 

with a fork and spoon 
I'll make you swoon 

I am a rose 
footling in prose
