Forgive me
in summer
if I were
to buy you
some roses
one morning
with fraying
red petals
for they’d be
so frozen
bespeckled
in silver
so you’d know
how it felt
to be cold
just like me

Explanation: A poem written in my own time - not a part of my ongoing beach/sea series. This piece was inspired partially by William Carlos Williams' 'This Is Just To Say.' Despite being short, it took fifteen minutes to write the last stanza (it changed at least five times.)
