A defensive pose assumed ?
When all that’s on my mind is to
Gently pluck thy blooms?
Why is red your hue of choice
When yellow’d do as well?
Do you, when coy bees visit you,
To them, your secrets, tell?
And when is a rose surely a rose
And not a dandelion?
My nose can tell the difference but
My brain is barely tryin’.
One response to “Why then, rose, so sharp thy thorns?”
When my allergies act up, my nose will definitely know that it’s dandelion that I’ve smelling haha!
