Return

Close up photo of a pink rose on the bush.

Roses have returned:
winter showers didn’t drown them
nor my pruning kill.

Dying

Close up photo of a red rose with most of its petals dropped.

A broken red rose
bleeds all over my front yard—
spring breeze pays homage.

Blush

Late springtime sunset—
mimicking the horizon,
my pink roses blush.

Blossom

Swallowing the sun,
the night creeps over our homes,
a new rose blushes.
