Dancing With Roses - Form of the Week - Trillonette

Dancing with Roses revision 8-12-19 working on meter

I have red rosebuds on the brain.
I sit and write while roses dance
around in my imagination.

Looking through my mind's glass pane,
I watch them sway as in a trance,
drawing focus for meditation

There are many flowers I could feign
in colors that engage, enhance
allure and elevate their station.

But everybody knows the reign-
ing bloom for bliss and true romance,
the scarlet rose is love's creation.

A symbol for all hope and passion,
the red-red rose performs in fashion.

Dancing with Roses

I have red rosebuds on the brain.
I sit and write while roses dance
in my imagination.

I look in through the windowpane
of joy, they sway as in a trance,
drawing focus for meditation..

There's many flowers I could feign,
in colors and hues that enhance
their allure and raise their station.

But everybody knows the reign-
ing blossom for bliss and romance,
the scarlet rose is love's creation.

A symbol for hope and passion,
the red-red rose sets the fashion.
                    ~~Judi Van Gorder
