One of the few ivy varieties which produces a red, bold hue in winter is the Boston Ivy. Boston ivy is a vine. Craig Cornish's Contest: Ivy In Winter ( or vines)
POTD~ In the misery of a paler grey nightfall she blinks like citrine glazed along walls, Ivy of Boston flaunts her shimmer without guilt as palette of amber claims her lustrous glides slithering with her bohemian lift, rosette flesh blushing in chilled breeze. Social climber this paramour, whirling among plants wanton wild , trickles of mist freckle palms of curled leaves- stem for stem-- translating the language of time, of how branches relish herbage flow as my wet hands paddle my dusky breaths through mid-evening's freeze. How her alchemy draws gasping sighs more red than red could ever tease, and that gypsy's heat...leaving mortals in awe-...that her fluid pose seems to jut out from a glass frame to rush forth with all her womanly senses gushing, snaking, writhing in the middle of ghastly, boney winter meant to return on the edge of wild abandon, enticing men with her faceted charm never ever the same each time.

' her alchemy draws gasping sighs more red than red could ever tease, enticing men with her faceted charm. ' This is thought is so intoxicating. The images you paint are breathtaking. This line holds so much truth: ' never ever the same each time. ' So nice reading your words again, Nette. Congratulations on Poem of the Day. My best to you. :) Hugs, Brandy

Dear Nette, your Boston Ivy is sheer alchemy, writhing, gliding, and teasing with a gypsy’s fire that never burns the same way twice. I’m swept into its molten reds, its dusky breaths. A masterpiece, truly. Congrats on POTD—you own this one. Winter Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel
