Thanks. Does it hold up in meaning without the picture? I’m always so literal with these things! ha ha! I suppose I could change the “wedding day” to “wedding cake”…
The somber ombre sky of fading summer storms
a grey echo of our wedding day
Stale and frozen cascading roses
a sickly-sweet reminder of the future
crushed before the buds ripened.
I leave the cake topper on your grave
Happy Anniversary Darling
He called her Rose Bud
Tasting the sweetness he loved
No longer weeping

I like this. Plus, great use of the prompt as a jump off to something wholly different. Note to self: don’t be so literal!
