Spring Rose
the purple leaves
unroll their sleeves
to frosty days
and longing rays
the thorny twigs
and stumpy-pruned sticks
secretly hides deep inside
the summer’s petalled pride
but sap will rise
to cloudy skies
to meet and catch
the swollen rays
with skirt of thatch
a blouse displays
a hidden promise
of perfumed sprays
