Rose In the Snow

A Rose in The Snow. . Deep within a forest blanketed by snow A place yet unknown And no one ventures or goes Grows and clings on to life The once most beautiful fragrant delicate rose So sweet its heart But fragile its petals and folds Stretches to the sun Stung by a bee Overshadowed by towering thickets of trees . Without love or tender care The rose never fully flourished Bedraggled pitifully Neglected and undernourished . Gradually it withers away Its petals fall to the snow And a gust blows it astray Never to see Another day . What makes this rose so precious and special Is because it is rare And with so much love And affection to share The last rose to ever grow. Now nothing Buried in snow. . Peter Dome©2020.

What a sad but lovely, tender poem!...so like a beautiful but poor neglected homeless girl left to wither and die alone in the cold. A tragedy that tugs the heartstrings.

Roses require lots of love and tender care, and if we do , the roots remain alive snow deep and return each spring. lovely way of putting it in poetry form, thank you for sharing your talent. dn
