Rose Bush, drabble, G


There were always those rose bushes that failed to thrive, no matter what tender care you give to them and no matter how other bushes nearby bloomed under your very same tender care. When that one bush died, I used to pluck the blooms before they shriveled. Sometimes I’d give them to Miss Rose Cotton, but before I’d do that, I’d hold a velvety petal between my stubby fingers and sniff in its perfume.

I saw the pendant Arwen gave him. He does not thrive under the best care. My heart hurts deep inside that he will soon be plucked.

In this series of drabbles:

1. At the End
2. Shadow to Flesh
3. Glass

You are truly trying to kill me, aren't you?

I don't where this beautiful muse came from but I hope is stays around. I'm sitting here in awe!

I hope it will stay around, too, as I feel rather meh...:-) THank you!!

Ow, now this one hurts.

*pats* :-) Thanks!

You are killing me with these, so very beautiful and so well realized. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you! I'm glad they came out right! ;-)

I mean, I'm impressed enough that you get up so early in the mornings. And then to be writing, too. And on topics like this.

Do the kids notice you've been sobbing when they get to school?

Heh. Well, I get there about 1 1/2 before they get there, so there's time to put myself together, lol. Though I'm intensely hormonal today and just feel like crying for no apparent reason...hmmm... :-)

Oh, what a wonderful series of drabbles! *adores*

I want to hug Frodo so badly. Poor, poor one. *sniffle*

And Sam as well, of course. :)

Thank you!! :-)

The comparison makes me shiver. Maybe it IS a blesiing in its own right that Frodo is *picked* before he *shrivels*. It'll be more painful, I suppose to see him suffer to the end, living death. Really thoughtful. Thank you.
