My Passion's Rose

My passion's rose, once ruby red; Now faded white; her lure stays sweet. With lust of youth her hue was shed, My passion's rose, once ruby red. With bloom subdued; devotion-fed, she's scarlet-tinged and love's replete. My passion's rose, once ruby red; Now faded white; her lure stays sweet. Jan. 25, 2022 For Caren Krutsinger's Triolet 160 Words Or Less Poetry Contest 49 words as checked by Word Counter
