Rambling

fragrant rambling rose
entwined in honeysuckle
memories of gran

i cut some blossoms
to place on her grey gravestone  
tears fall like raindrops

Sam Kauffman Date: 10/26/2021 10:08:00 AM This so touches my heart Jan. My grandmother taught me about gardens. We shared that love of nurturing growing things. Sadly, I live far from her grave and cannot put flowers on it. Congratulations on this winning poem. Thanks for bringing back so many wonderful days in the garden with her. Login to Reply
