CURE FOR WILTING CUT ROSES AND FLOWERS | RoseFarm.com International

I picked a fragrant red Rose, dulcet and perfumed soft for you, kissing the honeyed petals, rich, dark and dripping sweetness; the sky azure, the sun gold as I press Rose to cheek, and I gently carry her to you my precious and treasured one. I breathe in the scent of Rose_ she reminds me of your death, while melodious birds sing songs in low tweets of respect. Oh, there is a silence that wraps around my broken heart, and red Rose is wilting in my hand_ she hangs her head dying; as I weep and lay her on the garden grave of my beloved cat. ___________________ March 10, 2021 Poetry/Imagism/The Red Rose Copyright Protected, ID 03-1335-548-10 All Rights Reserved, 2021, Constance La France

What a beautiful rendering of the imagist form! Thanks, Constance, I have to read it several times - to entirely grasp the image of the wilting red rose in your hand, and which you placed on the grave of your beloved cat. Simply superb! Love ~ Mala

You pain a very clear and beautiful image of the rose, Constance. Their scent does evoke memories of funerals. I had to bury Katy in my yard too. It's very hard to get past the loss of a beloved pet. Strong emotion and creative descriptions! Nicely done, Constance. Hugs, Carolyn
