Author's Notes: This particularly special write presents a brief story and depicts a scene about three wild roses frozen in ice that are found by someone at the edge of a frozen pond out in the countryside. The notion with this poem, obviously, is to capture the symbolic wonder and image-laden essence of this very special moment, and to relate the passionate and emotional way in which this discovery affected the person in this poem in a very moving fashion.

Wild Roses in Ice
At the
very edge
of a
frozen pond
during
the
ice-cold
Winter
deep
in an
old
country
forest—
unbelievably
I gaze upon
three
wild roses
frozen
in a
block
of ice
as part
of the
larger
ice flow.
These
roses
at the
pond’s
very edge
are
rosy-red
radiant
beautiful
and even
redolent
although
encased
they are
in the
frozen
ice.
These
rosy-red
roses
appear
to be
perfectly
set
in a
straight
order—
horizontally
just like . . .
1-2-3.
A
wondrously
enchanting
sight from
Mother Nature
for sure—
bringing
a big
smile
to my
face
whilst
capturing
my thoughts
and
stirring
my emotions
and
touching
the
very core
of
my being
and
my heart
and
my soul
forever!
