Unusual warmth, a promise born,
Of springtime yet to be.
Green shoots rise amidst the thorn,
A freak anomaly.
Survival now, who can foreknow?
We only pray it so.

this is a yummy sounding poem. The rhyme is enough and not overbearing, and encourages the piece rather than smothering it. And to write such a short piece and yet manage to say just what needs to be said, quite a talent to behold. I look forward to reading more of your works. lozi x

Weird weather has brought forth these very "Green Shoots" all over the place. And unless protected from further frost damage, they a destined to die.Such a perfecto poem on the photo's prompt.
