Amid the recent snowfall, is a sunny, yellow cascade; For, jasmine blooms are now plunging, in cold shade. Stark trees are forever shivering, though much alive; Dreaming of the purple birds, and lonesome beehives. Jasmine is blooming, on every fence and green trellis, Like rainbow that lingers; when it has much to tell us! The street of pink-blue skies, now brings ready smiles; To see myriad florets, on one of nature's snowy aisles.

Dear evelyn, i love the way youv written this and the picture youv used here fits the poem so well too! Such a seamless writ with great use of colors and wordplay! I especially love the lines “Jasmine is blooming, on every fence and green trellis, Like rainbow that lingers; when it has much to tell us!” What a simile and comparison there! So stunning and creative! I enjoyed reading this poem! Congratulations on your win! Thank you for supporting my contest! Sending you light always
