My Knock Out Roses

my knock out roses
with their vibrant pink petals
flaunting their beauty
mesmerizing garden elves
delighting faeries and trolls

I love the wild stuff much better, but I did dig up a wild rose bush once upon a time and re-plant it. It did not bloom for five years. One day I said to it "If you do not bloom tomorrow I am digging you up." The next day blooms were coming out her crevices and her arm pits.

Makes me want to go check my garden to see if the elves and fairies are about. Well done.

Thank you line. Whenever I try imagery, I try short bursts of it, for I feel a bit uncomfortable trying it.
