Last Rose of the Summer

Janet Hunt
Last rose of the summer
Smells just as sweet

Last rose of the summer
Slightly wilted from heat

Last rose of the summer
hidden from display

Last rose of the summer
not part of a fragrant bouquet

Last rose of the summer
The petals begin to fall

Last rose of the summer
Most elegant of them all

    I had a rose bush at my old house that would explode with roses for only about 2 weeks. Then they all fell off and it didn't bloom again. I always wished it lasted longer.
