What Survives Winter In the garden there is sun, it shines throughout winter here, casting charms of imaginary spring to slay fall’s pall. The tomato vines should be pulled but they bear cherries still, - crimson and golden baubles extraordinary by extremes – a sweetness summer would envy. The geraniums are unaware of December, blushing madly against wild spearmint and all this blue. Be the geranium. Corinne [This message has been edited by Corinne (12-02-2002 06:23 PM).] |

I lOvE it! It reminds me of how sometimes we are so involved with our minds that we, just as the flowers, forget the seasons and just continue on, unaware of surrounding. It made me smile  Keep it up Always, GG |

I adore this! I enjoy your poetic works. They really speak to me and I especially enjoy your garden/nature pieces. Rich in imagery that puts me right into the garden--I see the flowers, I smell the flowers, I feel for the flowers--in their fight for survival! EA |

Corrine, I like this. We still have some bell peppers on the vine. It's supposed to freeze tomorrow night, though, so they may freeze. Thanks for sharing your poem. "Love makes the world go around" |
