Northern Winds

Roses bleed

their petals bare

Thorns gone missing

pickings rare

 

Crimson anguish

garden sown

Season desperate

roots bemoan

 

Roses bleed

their fragrance spoiled

 Lovers search

as stems recoil

 

Cold breaths gather

 northern winds

 Seeds of hope

—to plant again

 

(Radnor Pennsylvania: May, 2022)
