Spring is here. My rosebush has bloomed--there are those who know what that means to me! Thank you!

And here's a little something I wrote. Not LotR, no hobbits:


RENEWAL (SPRING ON OLD HIGHWAY 49)

Everywhere I saw it: nature’s fury on nature was unleashed,
leaving behind it that which should not be seen—
the roots of trees exposed to day, dead
and broken, limbs twisted, branches snapped:
a roadside ditch, a tangle
of limbs, crowned with
a vine of
Cherokee roses
blooming.

An alternative place for your poem would be as Sam and Frodo pass the statue of the king on the road to Mordor ... and the sun comes out and illuminates his crown of white flowers. A lovely poem, a ray of sunshine, and hope.

It's so beautiful. An embrace after the storm.

Ah...simple poem, but full of imagery.
I've got tulips coming up in random places now, as I
tend to plant without regard to color and then be surprised. :)

That my dear, was poignant and very sad too.

*hugs you*

Isn't that awesome!! Both the poetry--and the image of roses growing amongst debris left behind from a natural disaster. I am so happy to hear your Shire garden is in bloom! :-)
