Nonet Contest sponsored by Ink Empress

December 16, 2023

Blooming since temperate days of Fall fragrant red roses were frozen wearing sugar shawls of snow gelid crimson petals beneath a blanket of winter white slumbering draped in frost Laced flowers shrouded in crystalline ice swaddled the roses to preserve the beauty until frost melted to dew warm in the renaissance season when nature gently awakens Spring

exquisite and stunning write, Lin. I especially liked fragrant red roses were frozen wearing sugar shawls of snow--a beautiful image. I am in awe of how you captured the cycle of the rose from winter to spring with such outstanding imagery (swaddled roses). Have to fave this one. Hugs, Sara

Lin, I love "renaissance season"... so original! Your wintry imagery overlaid on the crimson rose petals is some masterful writing. "wearing sugar shawls of snow gelid crimson petals" I find so striking. A lovely write, dear Lin.

Thanks a lot, Tom. This form looks best when it's balanced.... sometimes a challenge, but one that's fun. I'm muddling through. This time is not nearly as insufferable as the last.
