little rose bush

a single thorn lay

the stem green shiny brighter

innocent buds peep through there

Beautiful as buds come to life- a new cycle begins - 🌹

enjoyable read ..the word associations are just enough ... and always the thorn along with the rose ... one of life's more precious lessons i think ... the innocent buds on our rose bushes are peeping through there now ... pretty exciting to watch ;)

My rose bushes are doing well. The thorns, many and the rose bush standing tall. I enjoyed your words dear Julie.

Funny how you can fit a strong idea in just 3 lines. Takes great skill. Sometimes thorns are necessary to harden the heart of a flower. Only then can it bloom full of beauty, even if it is painful, that will lead to an unbreakable spirit.

Yes thanks so much for your review

The innocents of this world are never far from the thorns Julie.

Thanks Chris for your take on this

this reminds me of how babies may be born of evil parents...and not follow the same path, but bloom into really good people, even as they are raised with thorns protruding toward them.

Yes very true thanks Jacob

Just because you see beauty doesn’t mean you can touch. Be wary of the consequences. Love the twist of nature in this little but subtle piece.

The rose bush so beautifully exemplifies nature and the danger posed to those who might molest her. Well conveyed in your poem.

Nice nature picture captured in the lens of your poetic eye Julie. I did chew on it a while and thought:
a single thorn lay
the stem green shining brighter
naked bud peeps through.
