firecracker red roses
bring back sangria-sweetened
hot afternoons

Cottage Roses
crowded, clustered
climbing an iron archway
tiny cottage roses

Frosty Hats
pink cottage roses
frosty hats at rakish angles
sporting the first frost

Notes: Winter has skated into town on frozen sidewalks, catching some late blooms off guard. They are rising to the occasion, though. I hope you’re having a magical week.

Season of Thanks
Thankful for summer —
fragrant with cottage roses
climbing a stone wall.
Thankful for autumn’s
brilliant multi-colored leaves
that spin, curl and fall.
Thankful for winter —
sledding and skating on mill ponds,
made smooth with ice.
Thankful for spring
when bulbs and roots create
flower paradise.

Note: Here is a thankful poem in recognition of Thanksgiving, a time when we celebrate what the earth gives us. This is my contribution for Poetry Friday hosted this week by Miss Rumphius Effect.
Roses are Red
Roses are red,
Shadows are blue,
Summer is fading,
It’s sad but true.
Acorns are falling,
Leaves are still green,
The season is poised,
For changes unseen.

dreaming of spring sunshine
