Can you find a poem in this photo? If I were to find one, it might be in those hands, the blue shadows, or the three roses.
Share your poems with us here in the comment box, so we can celebrate each other’s words.
(Also, did you know? Our May theme here at Tweetspeak and Every Day Poems will be Roses. Some of the poems may surprise you!)

I did it over at FB. I get so dern confused with all these techno hoola-hoops. These boots were made for walking (and stomping), not necessarily jumping.
Good night, Gertrude.

He offered three:
for faith
for hope
for love
three fertilized
with the warmth
of blooded hands
Do you know how long it took me
to see the empty space
and make my heart plant roses
(vulnerable, so vulnerable)
in its place? Have you any idea, any sense
what it means, that I have plucked these,
red for you, and brought them
into view?
Glynn & LL, the red is so lush in that image. It seems surreal. Too bad there’s not a scratch-n-sniff feature here today, aye?
Blessings.
Our first home,
Four bushes you planted, a present
for my birthday.
I cried knowing that clay was so unyielding.
The first year the deer ate every bud,
Who knew the bed of roses was on the deer highway.
The second year some beetle from Japan,
Not only ate every bud, but left just a few leaves,
The third year only one bush remained, and see,
A celebration for each year of survival.
You don’t see
how the crimson
curls away,
opening, so slight.
Your eyes trace first
to the tarnished
creases of my fingers,
wrapped tight, not crushing.
Passion as red as roses, blossoming with desire
petals, delicately folding in a humble charade so dire,
blushing with scarlets so boldly, a lover grasps thorns of bleeding fire
drawn away insanely by velvet crimson attire…Michael
Gathered
as a gift,
offered
gently.
Count them -
one,
two,
three.
Pressing
softly
together,
spilling light,
your
hands
to
my heart.
blue cupped hands gathering
stand for fields holding the world
a worker’s whispered prayer
