''I am the Winter Flower''
she said
''the opposite of the Summer Ones.''
''My blooms
peak in deep snow
and I weather
hail, sleet and bitter cold.
My Summer Kin
know the Sun.
I live beneath
White Winter''s Glow
withstanding
blizzard and wind
as furies blow.
I produce
anti-cold;
survive
winter''s
frozen mold.
My petals
are steel-forged
for winter has made
me strong.
My bulb forces it''s way
up through frozen ground
and defiant
I face worst Winter''s onslaughts.
My petals
fold, unfold
peak,
and stare Winter down.
I am the Winter Flower
beautiful in my Ice Tower.
I too,
have my Ice Prince
who plants upon me
an Icicle Kiss
beneath diamond shining
beautiful,
frosty,
Wintry
Stars.
