Roses In Conversation

Afternoon delight,  bordeaux

Tangles summer song;

Windrush, sea foam, penny lane and white wings

Sound on a brass band;

Restless, queen of hearts

Signs: No surrender!

Peace! shouts a mermaid at Golden Gate;

The Eiffel Tower is in France;

Ebb tide is upon us Desdemona,

Pass the cayenne pepper please, dear Quicksilver.

  4. When I was a little child, I though the roses in my grandparents’ garden chatted to each other when I went to bed, which is why your roses In conversation appeal to me, Gillena and you managed to include so many rose names in your poem.
