Poetry: Roses

by John Conning

Created on: August 19, 2011   Last Updated: August 20, 2011

"Heart Broken."

A rose can be the sweetest thing,
But mind the thorn in early spring.
Once I loved and I was glad,
Yet sad days now since I've had.

Thorn deep sharp like an arrow head,
Stopped my heart like stone was dead.
Never trust a thing so pretty,
It may wither in a winter city.
