Winter’s breath stings ~ nipping the nose Outside my door, a frosty wind blows Ice drips from eaves ~ daggers of frozen water The sun dies quickly as winter days grow shorter But under my roof a warm fire glows I'm wrapped in love as passion overflows Whispered sighs, soft caresses ~ my contentment grows as I bloom in winter’s heat like a hot house rose Cheryl McClellan 1/16/02 |

Cheryl, this is very beautiful. Living in Florida, now, I have no longer get to seek warmth from bitter cold in a nice warm house. But I remember how nice it was.  -newell Sharing God's Love through perfectlovepoetry.com |

Well, now, alright!!!!!!!!!! A hot hose rose, that sounds pretty good to me. I love that thought. I'm going to keep this in mind when the snow arrives (hopefully never) Kathleen--(Kay) |

*sigh* the cold of Jan outside and the warmth of a fire and passion of love inside...what could be more perfect than that. *sigh* the vision you paint here is romantically perfect. **big hugs** Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |

Kay, I was picturing a winter rose blooming in a hot house and it brought this about. Floria, Glad you enjoyed this winter poem. |

Startime, I liked the contradictions of the two extremes too. Snow on the roof, fire on the hearth, so to speak. Cheryl Juanita, I'm glad I gave you a warm fuzzy. I could use one right now. My feet are freezing. Cheryl |
