PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

What patience, perseverance & fortitude
    to grow just One Perfect Rose
 Desert light is much too bright,
    harsh dry wind she blows
Clipped 'fore a packrat makes of it a meal
   or junebug nibbles its tasty appeal
Plush velvet red in a crystal vase by my bed
A treasure to the eyes and nose
