A Poem for Thursday.

Everybody knows 

that a pansy's not a rose.

cos a rose grows on a bush

 and can prick you very much

while a pansy's on the ground 

where the mud is all around

but the pansy has a face

full of sweetness full of grace

and it doesn't shout out loud

doesn't captivate a crowd

like the feted blooming rose

surely everybody knows!

This poem comes about because of the Poetry Matters prompt...."Everybody knows!" what a great prompt...because we all know something!!
