I tried to draw a rose today
but noise and life got in the way
my pencil finally took control
what it drew I hardly know
“it’s good I guess” I tell the pad
I sniff the scent of rubber band
I tried to draw a rose today
crumpled paper, thrown away
*
rare beauty
inhale, no bottle can hold
rose succulence
Flowers can cheer a frown into a smile. Poets United knows this well and so the prompt this week is Flowers!!!
