Roses In Winter

     Roses,
     in winter,
     her eyes bright 
     like a summer sun~
     surprise!

Chetta, I appreciate your support for my Flash Poetry Challenge (8). I love how you contrast the winter backdrop with the wonderful "surprise!" of colorful roses, lighting up her eyes "like a summer sun!" A Fav poem for me.

Hi Mark. Short poems are quite a challenge to give the most emotional impact is so few words. I am happy you enjoyed this one.
