My Miniature Roses Poem by Tom Billsborough

A hundred roses still in flower!
Someone should tell them it's time to rest!
After all it is December.
And this is not Australia.
Their rosy lips can still digest
The watery sunlight from the west
And buds upon the chorus line
Are dreaming of a future time
When they will play the starring role,
Before the frosty curtains fall,
Curtailing their endeavour.
With Christmas just three weeks away,
I think the buds will have their day,
With many roses still in flower!
