White rosebuds [123]
White rosebuds

Why snip white rosebuds
to send my newborn grandson
on his heavenly journey?

These flowers' fragrance:
the memory* I'll hold on to
long after his body's** dust.

© Kåre Enga [177.123] (6.juli.2020)

*2 syllables not 3.
**contraction of 'body is'

This is in my dialect; to be read out loud.

Footnotes
1  Mondo poems are often very brief collaborative affairs that present a question and answer in the style of trying to glean meaning from nature. Mondos can be as short as a one-liner or as long as two 5-7-7 syllable stanzas (the first stanza presenting the question; the second the answer).
