I made a visit to the local florist on my block,

walked in and bought every rose that they had.

The florist was ecstatic but my account is broke,

but the cost of sixty plus roses was well worth it.

****

I really don’t keep an accurate account I admit,

couldn’t tell you how may Triond friends I have.

But each one is on there for a reason you know,

so I hope I bought enough roses for all  of you.

****

I had to take a break to straighten up my life,

because I messed it up almost beyond repair.

Writers block also found me holding me captive,

but as you see I finally broke away from its grasp.

****

I got my heart broken but mended it very well,

now the smiles that one sees are very genuine.

My creative words now has a brand new meaning,

gone are the days of dark and depressing poetry.

****

I realize I have to catch up on my friends writing,

more and more stacks up even as I  write now.

But rest assured my friends that I will read some,

leaving a comment as positive proof of my promise.

****

So my friends please take a rose as you comment,

my way of saying thank you for accepting me back.

But if you are a fellow and a pink rose isn’t your thing,

accept my sincere thank you for reading my words.
