Over at Murphy and Stanley's place it is last Friday of the month story day... click to read more!!!
Normally I use a photo to prompt my stories and this is no exception; but we are also given a sentence by M&S which we have to highlight in the story.This month it is
"IT SMELLED LIKE..."
_____________________________________________________________________________________
TO THIS END
.jpg)
It smelled like
It felt like
It pricked like
a rose
So there
I was
Sitting
Pondering
Wondering
Reviewing
Just viewing
Bathing
in sunrays sent
Lying
Lazing
Musing
Amusing
Silent
Hearing
words ill spent
The rose
stared back
Silent
yet loud
Telling
our bond
Woven we are
The rose
stared back
Silent
yet loud
Telling
our bond
Woven we are
Waning
Tilting
Youth gone
Wilting
Droughted
Still roots
in earth deep wend
Drooping
Bending
Twisting
Aging
Releasing
We all
come to this endThat smell
RottingYet still
'Tis said
a rose
by any
other name...

ReplyDeleteAlways enjoy your FFHTs (or should that be FTHTs for us in the UK).
Nearly got caught out this month by there being so much of April still left, but fear not, Bertie's FFHT will be in place in a few hours.
Cheers, Gail.

ReplyDeleteA beautiful poem! And such a great choice of subject for the inclusion! Well done! You are right about FTHT!
ReplyDeleteYour Pals,
MURPHY AND STANLEY
I really enjoyed both the words and the style of your poem. It just flowed so nicely with those one line words. Then I got to the cow photo and burst in to laughter.
ReplyDeleteThe black and white rose is magnficent and the words to go with it were thoroughly enjoyed. A different type of poem but one that says just so much. Loved it. xx

That's a rose? Good thing you said it was, because I didn't recognise it at all!
ReplyDeleteMiss Oswin says she is very sorry for all those animals in danger. She wouldn't mind housing one or two endangered mice she told me, but I fear there is an ulterior motive here...

You have out done yourself! I love the photograph of the rose and the poem. They go perfectly together and both have so many beautiful and fun layers. Bravo!
