Vines in Winter
Into dormancy vines enter
preparing to grow for next season,
as vines have some valid reasons
to adjust with chill of winter.
Vines to undergo some changes
as both physiological,
and also biological,
survival process to arrange.
Leaves take on soft shimmering glow
before shedding off in the Fall .
when Autumn breeze starts to follow.
No photosynthesis at all.
The sap just sinks into the roots
till next vegetable cycle
to sleep getting ready for fruits :
Resting period ! Plant’s own style.
Till Spring plant takes this precaution
Simple behaviour of Vine.
Plant to get Nature’s protection.
In winter survival runs fine.
