Roses Gone Missing

suddenly bare branches sway and shiver shiver and sway, outstretched in vain to December's flares stunted grass shoots deign not wave to howling winds their lawns daily prowl icy slants of rain piercing bare heads autumn’s roses gone missing color them dead

This dirge of the missing roses, offers vivid depictions of the harshness of cold weather and fainter sunlight, when summer has gone. A beautifully written poem, and a fave. :)

The cycle of life will start back again for these beautiful Roses. You will enjoy them again Gershon... but now the cold and the season take their life as you so expressed in your seasonal write. Thanks for posting...
