Notes About The Poem

For Craig Cornish's contest 'A Vine In Winter' written 2/23/25

A Vine In Winter

The snow is cold and frozen like souls
Buried beneath in tombs black holes 
But you are still among the living
There is time yet for thanks giving
Hope is a vine in wintertime 
It’s warmth like sun melting clementines 
Hard hearts and frigid times
Renewing our nourishing minds 
Improving our faith in divine
Healing by creating a path
From bitterness to sweetest laugh
Humor is the wine from the vine
I prefer it light sunny and kind
Full of lavender love so blind
For hope is a vine in wintertime

"But you are still among the living There is time yet for thanks giving Hope is a vine in wintertime" Love the way you have seen Hope as the vine surviving the frost of winter. Beautiful poem, dear Karen.
