A petal sticks to its peduncle, glossy and turgid a proud connection dipping a dew drops on a thorn on the branch of a rose plant. the thorn sharp yet vigilant protects petal's pristine glory of marmoreal smoothness. yet the dried peduncle breaks plaintively the next fall and the desiccated branch gives a prickly touch in a thorny hedge in my backyard

A Thorn
A petal sticks to its peduncle, glossy and turgid a proud connection dipping a dew drops on a thorn on the branch of a rose plant. the thorn sharp yet vigilant protects petal's pristine glory of marmoreal smoothness. yet the dried peduncle breaks plaintively the next fall and the desiccated branch gives a prickly touch in a thorny hedge in my backyard
