The Rose Meadow
A meadow is described as an open grassland with non-woodsy plants
but the garden bird carrying rose seeds from afar was wild and free
unbeknownst to him, a rose drooped into his bird seed-- to share,
plus he was too lackadaisical a fellow to be so precise as to plant
the rose into a landscaped rose garden row, where it'd be pruned
besides when you gotta go, you gotta go -- the same goes for birds
so when he made a pit-stop in the rose-less meadow, he shared, too
thus a red & white Double Delight blossoms and wilts, as she grows
scattering petals on the ground, or into the breeze, every which way
unhampered by rose-petal cakes, or pressed-flower bookmarks
providing rest whenever the little bird fancies a flight overhead
hence it is now called The_Rose_Meadow, for this singular rose :D
