Kim Rodrigues Poet Jueju

Yellow Rose

yellow rose on bier
full-bodied treatment
grand life disappears
ripe thorn’s, bereavement

dried flower repose
buried in suitcase
emerge briar rose
soul in boundless space

Vijay Pandit March 23, 2022 at 5:49 AM Your ending line invokes memories of rose--something to remember after death. Kim Rodrigues March 23, 2022 at 9:39 AM Thank you, Vijay!

Joseph P. DiMino March 23, 2022 at 3:48 AM Not the life we knew in them, when less pale and youthful -- but, as you say, we are assured of the resurrection -- I believe this with all my heart. Excellent imagery! Kim Rodrigues March 23, 2022 at 9:40 AM Yes! Thank you, Joe!

Victor Buhagiar March 23, 2022 at 3:41 AM Great poem on a yellow rose. Most write on red roses, but the yellow ones are just as beautiful. Hugs. Kim Rodrigues March 23, 2022 at 9:42 AM Thank you, Victor! Like a sunflower, a yellow rose is sunny and bright.

Sotto Poet March 22, 2022 at 3:44 PM I really loved reading your poetry, Kim. I'm not familiar with the JUJU form, so I'll need to put in a bit more practice time. Kim Rodrigues March 22, 2022 at 8:56 PM Thanks, Sotto! I appreciate your comments.
