Roses

Close up photo of dead rose buds in the bush.

My garden finches,
appreciate laziness—
feast on spent roses.

Teaching moment

Close up photo of a large rose and its petals, still intact on the bush.

Cluster of petals
supporting one another;
lesson for humans.

Teamwork

Tightly knit unit—
showing solidarity,
a rosy circle.

Survivor

In sunshine and rain,
amongst resilient weeds,
perseveres a rose.

Time to go

a dead rose against a blue sky with patches of clouds

As the sun goes down
a deadhead rose arises—
end of an era
