Mario De Paz Poet Terza Rima

The Periwinkle

In italian “winkle” is like a verb
Imperative exhorting then to win
Exalting thus the strength of the nice herb.

If in winter looks like it's dry within
You see it back with its sky blue flowers
And quite sudden resurrected has been.

Sara Kendrick November 7, 2014 at 4:15 PM I don't know if it is the same species that we call periwinkle but they are a very pretty flower in the heat of summer into the first frost..Enjoyed reading your work..Thanks for the visit to my page..Sara Mario De Paz November 8, 2014 at 5:14 AM Yes, Sara, it is the same flower you tell about. We have a bush on the road which during winter becomes as if it were dead, but it revives during summer and lasts to the end of the year with a wide flourishing. Thank you for coming
