Best Rosebud Poems

 Lilac dreams frozen by winter's breath
 I awake to see silent snowflakes fall
 Cherry blossom visions are a sweet intrusion
 But cold winter winds interrupt this illusion 

 I am caught in winter's icy spell
 Its gloomy song drifts over the dell
 Daffodil notions...

Dear Rosebud:
The morning dew gently caresses you
like the faint whisper of a young child's kiss.
Your limbs yearningly reach for the sun
as if awaiting a long lost lover's embrace.
Only a pair of vacant eyes could fail to see
the wonderful symphony of color waiting to be.
If allowed...

It is only a tiny rosebud, 
 a flower of God's design; 
 But I cannot unfold the petals 
 with these clumsy hands of mine. 

 The secret of unfolding flowers 
 is not known to such as I. 
 GOD opens the flower...

Snow
melts on
the rosebud
as pink petals
blossom. The warm wind
caresses her
with kisses
from the
sun.

Inside this lonely garden big enough for only two 
is a tender shoot arising wet from morning dew 
And although the earth is craving,  I am pining too
for a little tiny rosebud to whisper, "I love you"...

Blushing
rouge complexion,
wearing a crimson robe;
bathing in cool fountain of youth-
fresh dew.

one morning or should I say the evening before I proceed to clip a rosebud whose bud was questionable to being cut too soon and the rosebud says to me if you cut me too soon I will not bloom but I clipped it any...

(Triple Verse Triolet)

Six rosebuds sit atop the stem,
a hint of pink above the green,
each one a rare and lovely gem.
Six rosebuds sit atop the stem.
A chipmunk scuttles on the scene,
I watch him in the shade, unseen.
Six rosebuds sit atop the stem,
a hint of pink above...

Autumn Rosebud; a ballad


Where art thou, mine dear Rosebud? 
Thou art dearly missed within mine heart. 
Thy tears I beg thee not to shed to forlorn 
Mine departure, for we shalt never come apart. 


Thine pages unfold to a new start. 
I mourn thy brilliant...

I miss you so much
It’s killing me
I left you home with him
But it just had to be.

As much as I love you
He needs you more right now
I’m so sorry my baby
Please forgive me somehow.

My heart yearns to hold you
To play with your toys
To laugh at...

I wanted to keep you alive,
in the small waterford bud vase
near our bed,
the one the minister spoke of,
on our wedding day.
There was always a rosebud in the vase,
you'de replace the dead one,
then I would,
we took turns, 
the rose our rogue child,
that breathed a fragrance of...

Small burgundy rose bud
Surely the last rose of summer
Very tightly bound like a stud
You've graced my day, an affirmer

Surely the last rose of summer
Winter will come bringing cold
You've graced my day, an affirmer
That my existence should be bold

Surely the last rose of summer
Very tightly bound...
