Each year I kill it,
that scraggly rose bush out front.
Each year it persists,
deep roots my shovel can’t reach.
Each year it gifts me blossoms.
It’s National Poetry Writing Month (NaPoWriMo)!
Day 1 prompt from NaPoWriMo.net : write a tanka (5 line poem with syllable counts 5/7/5/7/7).
What Rhymes with Stanza? 
I’m glad to see you’re joining this year again. 🙂
