Notes About The Poem

Wild Wisteria Vine In Winter

The wild wisteria's vine in winter
Sends its roots out and deep
It draws up moisture and rich nutrients
To prepare for coming spring

As in each rest period of winter
It goes deeper into the rich earth
So, its shoots can gain momentum
To reach for the sun when spring touches earth

When all is ready in spring
And winter disappears
The plant searches for the sun
To make its blossoms appear

It climbs higher up its support
It reaches farther looking for other ways
It wraps all in beauty _and 
Then_ winter helps it rest 

In winter let's go deeper and be filled
Let the Holy Spirit search within
In winter soak up God's teachings
Rest, get ready, for spring will come

No, Andrea. It did not make the list. That is okay. Sometimes we get on the list and sometimes not. Sara K

Hello Sara, Your constructive comments on my work “My First Ever Poem” has left a lasting impression on me. I’m deeply flattered. The Wild Wisteria work you posted immediately places the reader at the scene of your creation. From that point onwards my attention never wavered as I absorbed your factual depiction embedded in vivid imagery A privilege to behold Howard

Anne-Lise, wild wisteria has gone wild in the woods all around us where there used to be homeplaces where people kept it trimmed up so it wouldn't spread all around. It is not a native species, and it will take over and kill out other plants, but it is beautiful in the spring if everything is just right so it can bloom. Thanks for dropping by. Sara K

Why, thank you, Paul. So far, the day has been good. I am enjoying nice weather, birds from so many species plus a few springtime blooms but of course, allergy symptoms. Sara K
