THE GREEN STEM

the life of a rose

I am a green stem

my head is an orange rose

all of us in this garden are my sisters

sun shrouds us

rain nourishes us

lifespan re-produces

in our nest beneath the earth

protects us in the frigid of winter

when we huddle to warm our denuded  heads

our hot breaths envelop

and we ready ourselves to sprout when the snow melts

life is glorious as we nestle

our love sustains us

I really love how wholesome and adorable this poem is. A piece that makes one wonder about life's simplest joys, like companionship and togetherness. Absolutely Heartwarming!

dear Betty... flowers have feelings as they sleep and wake to move their Petals... and become a Gift to someone who is sad and needs to know that the Sun and rain will bring smiles... (wishing you a Thanksgiving of blessings with fruits and vegetables). gently, Pat

You have used your incredible mind to bring a garden's seasons into being far better than I was told at horti' college! Yours skill as an artist allows you to create beautifully colourful minatures one after another and anothe which in turn.. add that much more to any lesson!

'green stem' magic; we ready ourselves to sprout when the snow melts.. life is glorious as we nestle..
our love sustains us ' - says so much, perfection to taken to heart

Your writing always offer the heart and spirit of a genre, content and all, dear Betty! This for me, is so very visual.. why does it slightly remind me of the dance of the sugar plum fairy from the Nutracker! Perhaps I'm suffering from sleep depravation or.. summat! Same and more to you, dear you.. hugs to you too 🎈🎈🎈

Beautiful imagery here Betty. I progressed the journey in slow motion. Through winter to summer bloom, and what a beautiful splash of colour. A bouquet of scented love.

And isn't a rose or even it's sibling sisterhood the epitome of love.... A metaphorical masterpiece dear poet Betty!!
