Nette Onclaud Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

 

 

November's Brave Rose

Brave  is the rose caught in November’s thorn
While she endures nights of chill and snow,
Awaiting gold daylight's warmth to bestow---
And liven her frame…her mouth  drooped, forlorn.

       Gently, new moon peeps into kohl  of eve 
While  its luster  reflects on this bud , soft
Like a pubescent ovule held aloft 
By elms guarding her round shape NOT to cleave.

       Though one kind-hearted owl perches  nearby
Mutely disapproving  this ghastly tread…
An obscure fog sprays crystals  overhead
Instead, wings lock against nip of the sky.

         How unwavering…in her innocence
Morning rises, its lucent gleam so young
That frozen dusk pales    with wheezes unsung…
Oh,  grit of a rose saved by providence!
