Winter Flowers
I don't have to wait
for Spring to come around,
I plant seeds in pots over Winter
instead of a cold ground.
They grow all Winter long
I can't wait until Spring,
so I can put them in the warm sun
while in the trees, birds sing.
My Winter flowers are warm
sitting along the window sill,
sun shines down upon them
long away from the Winter's chill.
I only call them Winter flowers
because where they grow inside,
awaiting the warmth of Spring
but for now, from the cold wind they'll hide.

Who says you have to wait until Spring and Summer to see flowers? I've been doing this for the past couple of years and I enjoy it.
