Roses in Wartime

A collection of found words, poems, and opinions

It must be difficult for a woman
to leave home 
and contribute
but it was expected. 

It must be difficult for a woman 
to wait 
so as not to be 
one of those girls

It must be difficult for a woman 
to choose 
to do the right thing 

But she can do it.

Clickity clickity clickity click 
the rollerblades go across the cobble stone 

The roses thrive in the railway yard 

Clickity clickity clickity click 
a woman walks with purpose 

​The roses grow in numbers 

Clickity Clickity Clickity Click 
a gun runs out of ammo 

The roses get crushed by an oncoming train

Clickity Clickity Clickity Click 
a teacher grows bored with her pen 


Picture

​The perfect Rosie will be patriotic

Her uniform iconic in red, white, and blue 

The perfect Rosie will be efficient 
Her bicep as strong as her constitution 

The perfect Rosie will be pretty 
​She is a woman after all
