Steps
Poem
Lionel Derbyshire
To find a patch of earth
And work it sweatly into
Solid fertile soil
Like finding a girl
Richly you plant a rose
For her a love rose
The one you love
You would feed and
Water it dearly
Like hugs for the one you love
Until you see
A bunch of lovely
Scarlet roses rambling free
Lovely and lively like her.
When you pick a rose
It will surely stab you
Or shall I write
Prick and leave you
Like she did.
