The Acknowledgement of the Gift

The roses are the best at the tree
The eyes on them rejoice
Gather the iris spree
Say Aah with the glee in the voice

When from the branches quite high
Someone plucks a few and then leaves
In a bunch on a tray on the sly
A little irritation under the sleeves

What I am not inclined to do for myself
A sky like attitude is doing that for me
Somewhat hesitantly I see it there on the shelf
But then on the flower there is also a bee

Out of the pink a heart incognito
The molecules of the love-laden mind
Rejoicing at the fact that I cannot say no
To the Premium membership and does it  hiding behind

You are a good soul whoever you are
Though the difference doesn't matter much for me
In the harsh daylight you are in the hidden stars
Thank you for the cup of tea

Fun, whimsical, almost serendipity---yet a sincere acknowledgement of the unexpected gift of the P.M. Well-done, Probir! :) gw

When you talk about roses my heart jumps for joy since I grow and adore them. The rest of the verses cannot understand that well but the quality of your writing is superb in both cases dear friend, Probir!
