The Care of a Rose
THE CARE OF A ROSE
(A Crash Course)
Lesson One
(Undone)
Today we begin
Not a sin
Not to know
Roses grow
(Who will sow?)
*
A knot
A vine
A pass
In time
(Who will go?)
It starts with a clip
A nip in the bud
Careless or
Cautious
In the make
For a tug
On a heart
On a tell
For a cupid
(Oh well)
The rose has a mention
A moment in time
For a sorry
(A say)
In a reason
(Not rhyme)
In a lesson
A level
Of a sweet
For a now
In an always
An after
For a day dear
With how
(Who will know?)
~
It blossoms
In basking
In a touch
By a sun
Met with
A maybe
For a moment
In mean much
And done
*
It’s easy
The clear just
A day with
A dawn
For a next
With a now
In the know
For a gone
(Who will sow?)
~
It’s never
And nearer
With a make
On a string
Like a heart of
A hero with
A ribbon to bring
~
In a take
On a stance
The lesson
(A glance)
Like leaving
It brings back
A costly of
A due
Like a mist
In the morning
To bring back
A few
°
So, listen
The wonder is
A view for
A straight
The answers
(Past questions)
For the thorn
Of no fate
The whether
The tether
The fit for
The clue
At bring back
A blossom
For a dear
(As in new)
The orders
The border
The bring back
So clear
The roses
The reasons
The care for
A near
~
At meaning
At margins
For a see with
A sow
(Who will know?)
The fragrance
The day spent
And gone
LESSON TWO
(For a few)
The lessons
Like leaving
Past the last
Of a reason
No rhythm
Or rhyme
(Alas)
~
The sorrows
The silly
The heart with
A flame
The sowing
The knowing
By remember
(A name)
The always
The ally
The sprout
Or a spur
The nearer
The clearer
For a rose next
To her
For B-
