Frozen Petals (One Brave Rose)

Roses were not meant

To flourish in the winter chill,

Frozen petals on the ground

Are dead proof that

Even the most beautiful life

Is out of place trying to fit

Into the wrong element.

 

Alone stands a single red rose

In search of the rare winter sun,

Unfazed by nature’s rules,

For she would rather

Wilt away in the harsh weather

Than be just another bloom

In a man made garden in spring.

oh my goodness Cowboy this is "wow" worthy, i loved the lines and the underlying sentiment of admiration for the independent woman, as a rose, as a flower struggling in a harsh environment can actually be applied to and appreciated by, all women today, in this crazy world. gorgeous write.

When people grow in the face of adversity and not back down, then choose to bloom so that others may find hope, truly blessed is such a life!

the single rose that can stand alone and endure the harsh weather is indeed a rare one ... a strong one and beautiful one indeed. Great poem!

Great, unique words! Roses understandably tend to represent romance, but it's cool to see you interpret them as symbols of strength and diligence, managing to survive throughout the brutal winds.

Thank you so very much, glad you enjoyed my different symbol of the rose.

That is my "Rose in December,/ Blooming alone..." You remember that poem.
I didn't know why she chose that particular time to bloom, but now I understand...

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

I do not remember it, I do know a song called Roses In December. Thanks Marie.
