The Red Rose Of Summer
Tabitha J. Bryson 1973 (Indianapolis, Indiana)
A Garden Stroll
flowers in bloom
storm clouds gather
impending doom.
Lightning flashes
quickly I hide
a mad dash
as I run inside.
Sirens wail
a tornado was seen
sky changes color
a blackish-green.
The winds gust
the tree's in bend
a rose in the garden
time suspends.
Tornado passes
storm clouds clear
I see the rose
shedding a tear.
The garden's destroyed
but she's still there
a perfect red rose
beauteous and fair.
