Image: A whitewater rose (Nymphaea alba)
in a public garden (here)
the 10 of 12 given words:
handsome, rooftop garden trembles
midnight overflow water rose search tell
handsome in its instance
the rooftop garden trembles
upon a midnight occurrence
an outflow of energy resembles
a coming of age amid the fragrance
a whitewater rose exerts influence
for its uncanny preponderance
for recognition of its elegance
to search hard for a solution
on how to sustain its bloom
for far longer in an insistence
to tell of nature's answer to doom
