Treasured Memory-CM

Where goes red rose when fall's come soft, hued birds aloft? Missing fragrance when rich leaves fly. Bittersweet sky! Red rose recalled orange sun queen. Fades summer green! Velvet petals that touched my heart, won't soon depart.

Its a lovely poem. It reminds me of how we pressed flowers in books as memories. Roses are hardy and enduring. Your poem has a light to its presence.
