BETWEEN THE ROSES

Michael Edwards

 

BETWEEN THE ROSES

 

A rose among the thorns is she

and her young man is so lucky

for what their friends and neighbours know is:

he’s a prick between the roses.

          Thanks Orchi - he fought in the battle of the roses back in 1480 or thereabouts - do you remember him?

          • orchidee

            Oh yes, I remember him! It was some time after 1066. They let me take part in the battle in 1480, even though I mucked it up in 1066, by saying to Harold' Look up, Sire' at the fateful moment!

            Michael,
            Your painting is beautiful!
            I love the vibrant colors!
            ...and she is
            “A rose among the thorns...”
            Hope he treads lightly!
            Your write did make me
            smile!

              He sure is a prick
              and not very (rose) hip.
