The Wilted Rose

the rose bows its head its song of beauty too brief, just one final blush before autumn sets the sun and then, it withers away.... 6/19/17

Great Tanka Joseph - nicely written and a great sentiment - I'm so partial to the energy of roses - on the bright side there is always another rose to keep it's glory...Maria
