Bloom or Fail
the lonely pink roses left to decay
abandoned like the lovers of life
twas their last brilliant performance
a lifeblood of wisdom that only lingers
in peaceful circles of garden fame until
denied by the next profuse array.
Their demise demands another bloom
but in a moment of inspiration
or maybe sheer desperation
the roses defiantly gathered their petals
for an encore to remember defying
the honeysuckles rise to glory
