So in honor of being late for this week's "late" Thematic Photographic post I give to you one simple late lost bloomer.....
Too late for the party?
If you want to be late as well then take a visit to
A Dead Rose?
Ah such a fair rose I once was
am I late for being of velvety softness
besides late for the prom or the buzz
of a passing bee
and too late to be
worn upon your lapel
for an evening spell
of pricking fingers
or filling a room
with my perfect scent?
and so very late to be
within a freshly picked bouquet
from a lover sent
so call me late
for the party
but not the glory
to be one lost late bloom
so late to some event.

But it's not too late for the petals to perform a service to rejuvenate the soil.
Karen, u have a way w/words!.Not only does it fit the theme but the photo as well....maybe its not too late? potpourri is the next step.
Late for the party but not for the glory--that's terrific! These theme photos are so much fun to see, especially when coupled with the perfect words, as here.
Great picture..such clarity.
Stopped by and wanted to say Hello to you
:-)
very nice Karen...pic and poem
Peace, hp
thank you for stopping by
There's something about the bowed head of this rose-in-repose. The light and shadows in the photo parallel the words in your verse, and both are excellent.
Bob and Kalei, Hpicasso, You are so right! And your nice comments mean a lot to me!
Lynne thanks for stopping by, it's always great to hear from you!
Titanium, thanks for noticing and commenting on the other stuff I had in thought when snapping this picture...it's also a very OLD rose!
Galen It is about the glory! I really feel I've written something worthy when you like my writings! Thanks so much!
