Clintonville - Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,

"Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,

Old Time is still a-flying;

And this same flower that smiles today,

Tomorrow will be dying."

My favorite poem?  Hardly...  I don't have one...

The 2010 Columbus Rose Festival is coming up the second weekend in June.

The verse is the opening stanza of a poem from Robert Herrick, a dead poet from long ago. The title "To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time" I think I may be doing the NaBloPoMo daily writing prompt... I did yesterday and today.... which asked if you don't have a favorite poem why not?

My response? Sorry, I am just not into poetry. Never have been.
