Winters' Rose

One single bush, one solitary rose vivid deep in crimsoned color deeply intoxicating of its' scent. Winters grasp has little effect on this one single rose for it seems not to want to let go and surrender itself' to the bitter stinging cold. A few petals hold a touch of snow just enough to give moisture yet not freeze the roses' delicate bloom. the fragrance, heightened by the cold lingers within the rose, buried by its petals perhaps protected, because of this cold. This single rose, none-the-less holding strong seems to me a little sad being all alone.
