Winter's Last Rose Poem by Dominic Windram
Winter's Last Rose
Winter's last rose; rose of regret:
O how once your radiant beauty
Shimmered in summer's potent hour.
Now your faded petals offer,
Only a glimpse of that power.
Now diamond points of ice cruelly
Surround your flesh pink, Christ like presence.
The whine of winter's bitter song;
The cold claws of grief; the grey silence:
The landscape scorns its chosen one.
Neglected rose; rose of regret.
Congratulations on being poet of the day, Dominic. Change is inevitable.
Yes indeed. It's hard for me to relate to this poem now as it was written shortly after experiencing bereavement about 16 years ago,
Also as a metaphored poem, very touching with gret sadness, Dominic. This poem also suites our life in reality and last but not least: a most dramatic poem about the Rose as a flower, my mind constantly goes back to life itself. Very very touching.5 Stars TOP Score
