Autumn Rose
The autumn rose knows
what it has been
and where it must go
now that the sun
is no longer the friend
its once was
a victim of the faling days
pedal torn
in the cooling breeze haze
color confused
in the waning
hay days
more frail and withered
more pale and frittered
than before
vigorless almost still
fragrant but
much less than more
the autumn rose knows
pity the poor rose
