Flower Love -- NaPoWriMo 2023 Day 30

     Fleeting Love

She a window flower, 

and he a winter breeze *

Her early leaf's a flower 

but only so an hour ** 

He gives his harness bells a shake, 

and miles to go before I sleep ***

I could've died for love--

But for livin' I was born ****

Nobody knows this little Rose --

Did I not take it from the ways *****

If suddenly you forget me 

do not look for me, for I shall 

already have forgotten you  ******

 - The Cento borrows one line from several other poems to construct a poem of our own.  I chose the Flower Love theme to look for and use.
