November’s berry red
White roses adorn the bush
Late Autumn low sun
A beautiful colour mix
Harvenger of bleak winter.
Blood Red Rose White. Tanka.

A beautiful poem from Jane Dougherty.
******
This poem for Paul Brookes’ challenge, inspired by the paintings Can I go now? by Marcel Herms and Darkness beckons by Terry Chipp, is, I hope not premonitory.
Darkness beckons
because the dream is never enough,
because the road runs bright and broad,
because she thought the golden city was for her,
but although she picks up trinkets on the way,
the road ends always in a golden ditch,
and all she sees is a field of magpies.
