Gail Lewis Poet Villanelle

The Petals That I Know

Do I smell the perfume of the roses that grow
 Or revel in my coloured Haze
 What delights I find here amongst the petals that I know

I find a four leaf clover so
 A thorny rosebush can produce a crop to amaze
 Do I smell the perfume of the roses that grow

Heavenly scent mystery's that show
 Amongst your garden in a daze
 What delights I find here amongst the petals that I know

Anytime you want to pick or grow
 Pick up your hoe, mend your ways
 Smell the sweet nectar and honey that blow

Do you come to where the sweet flowers sow
 So as above So Below she says
 What delights I find here amongst the petals that I know
 Do I smell the perfume of the roses that grow
