Rose Thorns and Tea, by Eleanor Kim (7 years old)

Under a bright red rose

Lives thousands of thorns.

Thorns are prickly.

---

Thorns are prickly,

Petals are tickly.

Rosehip tea is not for kids,

It’s for children ten or eleven.

If ten or eleven isn’t enough,

It’s thirteen or fourteen.

Rosehip tea might be sweet,

Might be bitter.

Who knows? Maybe you do.
