Prize Roses

In bed looking out my window... (sighs)  
up at the moon with leaden eyes 
approaching bleak scarlet skies 
dawns spell prompt to arise. 
Fawn forages prize 
roses, surprise 
at moms cries, 
it shies, 
flies.

It is fun to picture what is happening while taking in the superb rhymes at the end of each line.

I love this Eve. It's like sliding down a rhyming slide. Rhyme is always my favourite.
