White Petals

In Emotional Poetry

The moonlit night shines
bright and glows, illuminating
an enchanting world embellished
with snow.
A meadow of lilacs
encased in winters love
with a pond of ice and
a rose, a rose,
a single white rose.

Frost floats gently
in the soft winter air,
hanging like a dense
fog of snow that wraps
tenderly around the rose
like a cacoon as it
nibbles gingerly at
each lilac branch.

The cold gnaws warmly
at my rose's delicate petals,
while snow flackes dance
on the frozen pond, and
crystals spin spiderwebs
across the frosted ice.

And at your touch
my white rose blooms,
releasing its graceful
elegance and all my
love for you.

My rose, illuminated
in a pool of light,
is shimmering, glimmering,
and shining bright.
White petals sway
in the gentle winter air,
caught in the moonlit night.

Hi there!

Firstly, I love it! You wrote a beautiful poem without even touching sentimentality and that is just great! The imagery is beautiful, flow is great. I feel as if you gave me an insight into a very private, closed world. There is silence, peace and softness about it. The small, well-shaped stanzas add to the poem and its feeling of a glance into a different world.

I'm really enthusiastic about this poem, but before I go further, check out "winters", because it wants an apostrophe. Take a look at "cacoon" and "flacks". I think you meant "cocoon" and "flakes" (a flack is a publicity agent!)

Maybe you could get someone to do the poem in calligraphy -- you could print copies and make a fortune! But it is also exquisite in its simplicity. Thanks for this poem, it's a real masterpiece!

awwww hudzy! What happened?! :( Well FB me about the bandages and sorry to say this one is dedicated to Julian who happens to share your love for snow even though he's never even seen snow...... sure enough I'm positive he's going to hate it when he actually see's it :)!!!! And I will win tee hee. And don't get your hopes up he hates rain just as much as I do, and there is only one way that he's going to like rain which I can assure you is not going to happen :P. (Check your FB for details :P)



That there's some good in this world, Mr Frodo - and it's worth fighting for.
