falling down from the sky
I can’t believe my eyes
a plague of roses
hits their noses
beating their faces with the thorns
while the city mourns
chaos and havoc far as I can see
trembling with fear like limbs on a tree
the people are frantic
and in a panic
this plague of roses; beautiful as it all seems
has created a disaster and filled the world with screams
excruciating fear feeling up my soul
I don’t know what to do I’m losing control
all my secrets and all my thoughts
all that is true that I wish were not
everything in my mind … to the world exposes
all because of this horrid plague of roses…

sounds like a neurosis
re new roses
Great title though I'm not sure I understand the poem. James
