WINTER ROSE
a/k/a Christmas Rose (Helleborus)
Trees of the forest tall and proud
Standing bare in winter’s white shroud
Angel wings made of diamond frost
Until covered by a new blanket and lost
The forest quiet in long winter’s sleep
Only echoing once in a while a bird’s peep
Peace and tranquility here is abound
For the beautiful white blanket covers all sound
All inhabitants are sound asleep
As the moon shines down the white deep
Showing endless sparkling diamond dust
Of the cold frozen forest white crust
Suddenly a moon beam appeared to kiss
A lonely Winter Rose peeking through a drift
It’s creamy pink face the only color in sight
On this very cold crisp winter’s night

your winter's poem is wonderful

This is a real gem.
The imagery you have painted is superb,
instilling a wonderful peace and traquillity
amidst the silent beauty of winter and
highlighting it with a lovely rose in bloom:
"Suddenly a moon beam appeared to kiss

I truly enjoyed it.
Thanks for posting.

What a delightful sight to behold in any season—but what promise it offers amidst winter's cold! Thanks for sharing. The only thing I see in bloom here now is Witch Hazel (winterbloom). We have gotten some (enough?!, with more on the way) snow here; but little, compared to your tally. Hang in there!
It's amazing how a single flower can change the mood of an entire scene.
Stay warm and safe.
Regards Mick.
P.s.
How do you attach those lovely pictures.
