Winters rose was planted Some forty years ago So I am told From that time on He’s always been old. Through all the seasons since His love like a freezer Remains outside In the cold. The rose’s petals frozen One by one did fold Till but one was left As in a dream It was foretold. Now he is old Yet the dream Still unfolds And winters rose Has no petals left No blooms to hold. |

A rose is a rose is a rose! ~ and so it shall remain! Swish, swish with my magic wand...  ...Now the leaves are back and the rose shall bloom again and may all its dreams come true!  A very moving poem.  EA |

Roses! Yes, they are such confusing things. How beautiful they are on a stem of thorns! |

A lovely, sad write. But, I wanted to tell you....we have a wild rose that appeared growing out of the leafless, seemingly lifeless stub of last year's old rose -- little miracles happen -- now it is taking over the whole garden with gads of blossoms, deep wine colored. |
