Snowdrops Poem by ANDREW BLAKEMORE

Snowdrops

Rating: 5.0


Snowdrops
Emerging
On this bleak and barren land,
Frozen
Through winter
By nature's icy hand.

Cold winds
Blowing
As green shoots start to grow,
Slowly
But surely
The budding petals show.

Sunrise
Now shining
Flowers in full bloom,
Gleaming
So brightly
Like beacons in the gloom.

Springtime
Such colours
The flowers are abound,
Covering the remnants
Of that bleak and barren ground.

My favourite flower of the winter - spring. They are such beautiful blooms if you study them closely. A mass of them is quite a spectacle and very wroth seeing. Nicely described in this write and they herald the newness of the year. Love and hugs Ernestine XXX

Sweet and very pretty writing Andrew! You are such a lover of nature as you watch for snowdrop's green shoots to come through. I like the last stanza as you bring in the color of other flowers too! 10 Karin Anderson

Such a pert little poem! Each stanza pops its head from the page just like a snowdrop. Reminds me of the Secret Garden. Delightful descriptive piece. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
