PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Some flowers need warmth and water to grow 

but the blue winter roses will only get snow

sorely, they grow, up toward the light

through the harshest of weather, the cold winter's white

their bright red brothers, showered with care

have not the love their blue sisters share

for the sun and the rains, each day is a struggle

by night, no warmness with which to snuggle

but the ones that survive, through the days and the nights

have roots like steel, and thorns for the fights

but when in bloom, tall, blue and splendid

they outshine their brothers who were so well tended.

for the true beauty of the blue winter rose

radiates from surviving the cruel winter throes.
