Blooming every four years

The Rosebush

by gansach

Rosebush lies dormant,
prickly thorns of doom;
four years barren~
but oh! when it blooms!

Write a short poem in not more than fifteen words. Give your best. It can be the sweetest or the most heartbreaking.


When I moved to my house, there was a climber rosebush in my side garden. It didn't bloom, just produced wicked thorns. I was so disappointed. But, after four years, it filled with buds and produced a multitude of beautiful red roses. It blooms every four years~except in 2020, the Year of Covid~when it bloomed again after blooming in 2019. I believe it was to cheer us up!
