Fall Roses

Fall Roses

Mother always loved roses

roses in the spring,

new colors

planted,

trimmed,

pruned,

wilted blossoms plucked away

new blooms

appearing

and

reappearing

carefully tended. . .

then fall. . .

the last blooms, saving some

drying them for winter

memories until spring.
