Two Roses
Winter Song
How noisy this early morn,
when a growl or snore,
even a thumping sound
emanates from frozen lake!
No cause for alarm,
the ice is singing
its wild winter song.
The setting moon’s glow,
like a large yellow rose,
now settles above hills
in faint light of dawn.
Lainie Senechal
Full Moon is a White Rose
The full moon is a white rose
dropping petals of light
along the bridge and
into the sparkling river.
They float on silver waves,
not to pollute, but to
revolve among the stars,
like whirling galaxies, creating
a mystical atmosphere
for their yearly rendezvous.

Yellow Rosewhen a growl or snore,
even a thumping sound,
emanates from frozen lake!
No cause for alarm,
the ice is singing
its wild winter song.
The setting moon’s glow,
like a large yellow rose,
now settles above hills
in faint light of dawn.
