All Our Roses

               As autumn finds her golden fall

and winter winds begin to call

soon branches on the tallest trees

stand naked in the restless breeze

and vines begin to ache below

no shelter for a roses glow

 

Of springtime rain, of summer sun

of hearts that beat only for one

in shades of love ‘til seasons play

teasing tethers  in disarray

bound forever, now break away

senseless lover of yesterday

 

Should I cry or moan, I fear

we took our love for granted dear

and now the rose upon the vine

lies wilting in the hands of time

as what was new, now feels so old

fading slowly in autumn’s cold

 

Have all our roses blushed?

I`m impressed.
I haven`t read your 'rhythmic' poetry in a long-time. So, it`s good to read your words with such rhymes. Your art`s getting explored... in anew artistry which`s way good for your lovers. I find one thing `bout your stuffs that they`re written in every pose (creative-art/forms/formats) & well expressed with the worth of meaning as well as your talent through the very hues of your "rosy" words. Nice work.

I`d be writing you reviews in bulk (reading your beautiful stuffs) this day!

Your very sweet Stephen. Thank you :) Julie

[Stephen]

Even the reason of my notorious sweetness just belongs to your bare heart (spiritual beauty). So, it`s all time a pleasure to me to get unleashed to your every move you take to make even the universe as 'numb' as frozen oceans.

Vivid description of all the worth of seasons fall together in a lovely manner resounding the call of fresh beginning make us feel better...
Nice is the shortest sweet song...

[MsJewel]

Thank you for your very kind comment :) Julie

Welcome Julie..

[Valentine]

Today I was saying that all of the color was only here for such a short time. Then I find this write expressing some of my thoughts. Nice write. Valentine

[MsJewel]

Thank you :) Julie

[Anna Blackburn]

Wow. It takes a lot for a poem to render me speechless... but wow... I think that the only advice I can give is that the middle stanza kind of gets iffy, but it is an amazing poem. I look forward to reading other of your pieces.

[MsJewel]

Thank you so much Anna. I struggled with that second stanza. It's something I'm still working on. I appreciate your kind comment :) Julie

[Matching Socks]

As the season comes round again it will bring something new.
Maybe? ;)
I think this one really captures that life cycle, or maybe love cycle?

[MsJewel]

I hope so! Thank you lovely lady. It's always wonderful when you visit! :) Julie

[Awakened Rose]

[MsJewel]

Thanks so much Rose! :) Julie

this one is bittersweet for me.. can feel the questioning of a love that was once in full bloom, now feeling the chill and loss of what has been lost by the cruelties of time.. the flow was stunning... like a whistling breeze that tickled the heart and made it dance to the slow, steady, rhythm of doubt mixed with hope.. the picture is gorgeous and the words powerful and affecting.. one of my new favorites of yours and going into my favorites.. awesome writing as usual Julie.. absolutely breathtaking..

one small thing.. (no shelter for a roses glow).. think you need an apostrophe here.

[MsJewel]

Thank you for your lovely comment April! Hugs, Julie

[Aidan]

This was a very warm read - you have some very evocative imagery here. I loved your use of alteration! Your rhyme was wonderful, as well.

[MsJewel]

Thank you Aidan :) Julie

[Zakari Schmidt]

Oh wow, I found his to be such a powerful piece of art. Your use of imagery and rhyme combined to make an autumn gem for my eyes and those of your many readers. Such fluid and pure expressions are so rare anymore, this poem would stand out in any collection.

[MsJewel]

Thank you for your always kind and encouraging comments :) Julie

[Patrick]

Beautifully sculpted piece of poetry that reads so well even if the last line is tinged with sadness

[MsJewel]

Thank you! :) Julie

[Lyn Anderson]

The last line really completes the feeling of the piece, the doubt, the sadness, all in one impactful line.

[MsJewel]

Thank you for your kind words :) Julie
