Notes About The Poem

Winter Roses Poetry Contest- Sponsored by Mystic Rose Rose

Winter Roses

a house of color 
dressed in shades of pink and blue 
and eaves iced with white 

lights from outside warmth 
on winter roses- sparkling 
snowflakes on petals 

standing on the porch
joyful children caroling  
singing in rhythm

old-timers awake 
to the sounds of silent night 
they then watch- with love

Your "Winter Roses" is a wonderful write/story. I enjoyed reading ... "Good Luck" Have Autumn Blessings As You Write Away.............
