A Rose Garden
Amanda East 1976 (Ogden)
Wind-rocked remontant
Prune out your despair
Grafted in a slant
But not without care
Unmatched to fit growth
A sucker untorn
Knows not a good oath
When chaos is born
Snit, balled, or broken
Hips push the roughing
Truth is unspoken
Give up on nothing
Deceptive attacks
Shame, lonely with woes
Blind shoots and diebacks
Lame a budding rose
About this poem
I was thinking about my failing marriage and lack of knowing how to have an intimate relationship, but in this writing, I wanted a challenge. I picked so many words that had to do with a rose garden and fit them in a format with my intended theme.
