The Roses Smelled So Sweet
May 28, 2014
The roses smelled so sweet,
Slightly damp from the previous rain,
The bud slowly unclasping,
As to welcome a new spring day.
But what is sweet is also sickly.
Thorns to prick your skin,
The contagious air filled with pollen,
The excruciating work to weed.
Is it as sweet as it was before?
