Susan’s Rose
A sentinel bush marking ten years
Planted as a promise of better days to come
Each year the promise kept
Of briars and thistles swept
Walking paths through the trees now beckon
Colts and canines greet at the fence
Prancing in rehearsed unison
Rose scent wafts in a swirl
Allowing us respite under the shadows
Shielded by Susan’s rose
Susan’s rose
NaPoWriMo day 22
Velociraptor
Turtles slip into the water
They have for millennia and will for many after
Rustling in the bushes, I listen harder
Gasp to see a carnivore dinosaur, a velociraptor
I halt in my place, try not to sneeze
The last thing I want is to warrant its attention
My scent blown downwind by the breeze
Not getting eaten is my latest intention
I do my best to shrink in my place
Then backtrack one step at a time
Willing my motion to not leave a trace
I retreat from the Cretaceous Period, praying like a mime
Shh, it’ll hear you
NaPoWriMo Day 21
Lady Banks, Lady Banks
Old world roses bloom but once a year
Such timing makes us hold them all the more dear
The petal clusters are small and tight
Mother Nature assures us she got it right
I planted two: yellow and white
Lady Banks, Lady Banks beautiful in any light
White Lady Banks almost in full bloom
One white rose
Yellow Lady Banks in full bloom
NaPoWriMo Day 20
Early Being Late
Up hours before the dawn
Cinderella chores finished ere dew forms on the lawn
Getting an early start is great
What I don’t understand
Is how I’m already behind by eight
What?! Sunrise already?
NaPoWriMo Day 19
