Ouch! How the thorns of life impress their mark;
Impacting like a traitor in the dark!
A bleeding wound that never seems to heal;
With all the replays, blood cannot congeal.
Too overwhelmed, forgetful in the pain..;
Take heart! The roses always bloom again!

I’ve come to enjoy this, the Quadrille at
dVerse,
where Björn is hosting, and today’s word is “rose”!
Mystical Strings 
Rhyme and meter, in 44 words. Wonderful.
So well done! I don’t always find it so easy to write rhyming poetry – you nailed it!
Beautiful piece! 🙂
Not often that we see the marriage of 44 words and perfect form. Bravo!
Lovely piece. Yes, roses do eventually bloom again.
