Wild rose

a wild grove tangled until a pink rose

sweetens green, draws a fresh moment of clarity

a window opens petals scatter onto matted brown

Written with reference to guidelines for a Sijo, a Korean poetic form.

You’ve wonderfully captured the life of the rose in these three lines…’one fresh moment of clarity’- perfectly said!
