Rose(s) -- NaPoWriMo Day Twenty

Roses I have known 

They line the esplanades of our city 

Red, all red they are--knockouts the faves 

In our parks, gardens, backyards there're blooming 

I like the ones we have, knockouts also 

There's a different rose that I know--Rose 

Dear friend for life, Rose, known for years and years  

Absolutely Fabulous all- Roses

A Red, Red Rose 

BY ROBERT BURNS 

"O my Luve is like a red, red rose 

That’s newly sprung in June; 

O my Luve is like the melody 

That’s sweetly played in tune. . . '"
