timmy's poetry - 30. Joanne

Lyssa and were talking today about roses and I told her my mum grew them. Lyssa said:  I think her flowers grow in your heart further. :kiss: That is were your words for writing come from. Your wild rose garden, so to say.

Joanne

 

In my mind’s eye I can see her

Alone amongst her roses, gloves on

Smudges of dirt on her cheek

Blonde hair escaping her rough ponytail

 

This corner of the garden was her

Sanctuary, a place of peace and scent

Roses like her children did not fail to thrive

Yet their beauty could not save her

 

I like to think she grows the words I write

In her garden of roses and wild flowers

Plucking the blossoms to share with me

The petals fall through my pen to the page

My mother's name was Joanne.. thank you Lyssa for giving me this poem and this memory... .

Thanks for reading.
