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 April 12, 2018

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!
