Rose's Wild Garden

It was a seed of love from where the wild flower garden sprang                               	      
ideal for my sweet Rose even though some call wild they are tame                               	      
to place them in a box or trusses frame a thought of beauty                                            
not so fragile after all bending in the wind as It was there duty                                	      
as they raise sun shining in standing taller after the rain                                 	      
colors seem brighter than before eyeing the daises mane                              	      
climbing up and down around runs the wild peas                                         	                
higher than queen Ann’s a little red the wild carrot pleads                                                   
the yellow bush abreast the fire with golden rod looking plain                                 	      
a cornflower for hire spilt a hibiscus cup got a chicory stain                                	      
humming bird’s heart panting a midst the honeysuckle treat                                	      
sweet-sour lying short and the jack-in-the-pulpit face red like a beat                        	      
as the fern plays the wild fiddle with forest green refrain                                          	      
on the edge of the field swaying dances of the wild grains

So many beautiful wildflowers captured in this poem, John. There were wild roses all over the place where I grew up and my mother used to dig them up and take them home. Wonderful work! Love, Carolyn
