Author's Notes: "Evergreen in Winter Cold," is a verse write I put together looking at "Evergreen" as manifested in plants, trees and shrubs -- as a symbolization of seasonal and yearly renewal on Earth, and in a greater sense, life renewal personified by its trademark of "deep greenness" or "verdancy" which bespeaks life itself. And having the metaphor of Evergreen in the cold of winter seemed to be appropriate as we are in the seasonal end cycle of the current year and preparing with hope and faith and renewal that are all integral parts of the calendar transition into the new year. (Gary Bateman - December 9, 2014) (Verse poetic format)

These lovely plants, trees, shrubs
Thrive the year around with their
Constant coloring and aura of most
Majestic “Deep Greenness” which
Testifies powerfully to the symbol
Of life that they portend in all of
Mother Nature’s varied seasonal
Weather conditions especially in
Winter as the snowflakes fall both
Cold and White the Evergreen is there
With its trademark glory of green
Signifying continuous life renewal
As the Cold White Snow falls on the
Ground and prepares our next Earthly
Transition to the new calendar year
