#OTD Carolyn Kizer, American #Poet, is born.
The #Ungrateful #Garden is a #Charming #Poem about #King #Midas growing golden #Roses.
Within, the golden cup is #Good
To lift, to #Sip the yellow #Mead.
Outside, in #Summer's #Rage, the #Rude
#Gold #Thorn has made his fingers #Bleed.
Dazzled with #Wounds, he #Limped away
To #Climb into his golden #Bed,
Roses, roses can #Betray.
"#Nature is #Evil," Midas said.
