A Poem: Roses Fade...

This is just a short piece I wrote one afternoon. Exploratory, if you will. Please enjoy.

A Poem: Roses Fade...

There once was a woman of twenty.

With words always plenty.

She was, I admit, wicked smart.

And had, truth be told, a huge heart.

She cared too much, it’s true.

It was always much ado…

…about everything!

All the time. Always on.

Like a wall of TVs at a store.

For all things she did have passion;

not a word did ever she ration.

It became quite exhausting,

and really quite costly,

to read the spew of words

that were, indeed, her bastion.

When she asked a question,

Best buckle in for the ride.

Once begun, one cannot hide.

To comprehend is beyond most,

Perhaps not even our host,

Again, about using words she would boast.

She was quire fiery,

I hope there’s no diary,

I cannot hide in a priory,

I don’t know where I am in her hierarchy.

For despite the fun

And having a good run

And saying give me cock --

She resorted to block.

It’s all very sad.

Not me, in fact I’m glad.

Amused instead...

...but discord we should not have had.

Being a baby

Is not being a lady

And is maybe

Immature.

Again, it’s all very sad.

Watching a faded rose.

One that never bloomed.

But gave itself over to an old withered vine,

and never let the tendrils go…

…tethered forever to wrinkles and furrow.

Never to laugh and blossom and burrow

and gain strength from root.
