BESTOWAL by JEAN CROSSE HANSEN

First Line: A FRIEND SENT ME ROSES
Last Line: FOR MY OLD BLUE BOWL.
Subject(s): FLOWERS; ROSES;
A friend sent me roses
For my old blue bowl.
Against a scarf of blue and amethyst,
Color and fragrance are delicately blent.
With the flowers have come enjoyment,
Memories, longings, evasive dreams;
For a lover once sent me roses
For my old blue bowl.
