Kenneth R. Merrill Poet Quatrain

I Wonder What the Roses Dream

The garden, it is fast asleep,
Or so it would appear—
I wonder what the Roses dream,
Of dewdrops cool, and clear?

So peacefully they are folded
For their midnight reverie—
Still as a day without a breeze,
Or a waveless azure sea.

And I watched them from a distance
Being curious to know—
What dreams entice the Daffodil
As they slumber sweetly so?

Gershon Wolf September 9, 2019 at 9:03 PM I was braced for your trademark humor -- and surprised, then happy that you maintained the wondrous quest(ion) right through the last word. A truly lovely write, Kenneth. ~ Gershon Kenneth R. Merrill September 9, 2019 at 9:54 PM Thank you, Gershon! I am both flattered and grateful for your close readings of my simple verse—humor and all!
