The Sense of Roses

July 12th, 2025

Annapolis Royal Historic Gardens

11:15 am

Eye have meandered through

M(eye) 1st Rose Garden

(unless the yellow & white

of M(eye) Grandmother’s garden path

still counts)

Eye took in the blossoms’ colours,

inhaling the over-written scents

up close & personal

on this day

of M(eye) 1st Husband’s 2nd Wedding

What IS A Woman?

July 12, 2025

Annapolis Royal Historic Gardens

10:26 am

A Woman is A Flower

every layer veiled

w/ the succulence of purity

& scent of Attraction

for nearly everyone around Her:

those who do not see Her

as well as those who see Her clearly

NOTE: a tourist 2 The Gardens said,

“I’ll walk into town — I’ve been here before.”

Within Dark Hours

for M(eye) Daughter

& for Me

(thanks 2 men Eye do not wish 2 compare)

a small stone lay

w/ The Word Hope

painted upon It

beside M(eye) deck

within Jerome’s sleeping spot —

The Stone HAD been kept

inside a glass bowl

(w/ other rocks worth keeping)

so HOW It got outside

is beyond Me

butt It did Its job today

accompanied by The Personal Prayer

of Our Honourable Baptist Minister
