As You Who Had No Toil

Rhyme...8,6,8,6 syllable count after reading Emily Dickinson...

The Rosebud has little to do

Just drink its fill of waters

From the strong sturdy vine that's true

Kissed by dew that matters

 

And enjoy the kiss of sunlight

Upon woven petals

Open little each day that's bright

Sun radiant aerials

 

When opened sufficient indeed

Host a party to bees

Butterflies who on nectar feed

Won't even run from me

 

Like they are glued to your nectar

Petals are to full extent

Begin to fall of your vector

When petals gone your scent

 

On petals linger to be stored

In jar_pressed for oil

Then I would want to be used

As you who had no toil

Such a rythmic, beautifully written poem! I couldn't stop reading; the words refused to give me permission to draw my eyes away. It was intoxicating, and each line was as satisfying as the last. Thanks for sharing :)

This carries such a beautiful tone.. moving like a soft song across the rosebud world.. Gave me a wondrous, calming feeling as if I could see the butterflies hovering about.. Thank you for sharing!
