Flower in Winter

A flower adrift on the ice.

Across the frozen pond, she skates with uncertain legs
A fawn standing for the first time, her posture unsteady
Gliding so tentatively, an awkward kind of grace
Floating gently upon the ice, drifting lightly

Sunflower silk cascades around her, petals blossoming
Unfurling with the breeze, embracing the velvet rose
A smile kisses her lips, as giggles caress the winter air
Doe-eyes gazing at her beloved, his brown eyes smitten

Suddenly there is a shriek, as she tumbles to the icy floor
Sprawling upon the ice, her petals scattering about
A blush touches her porcelain cheeks, mortified
But soon he is by her side, cradling her in his arms

He sweeps her off the ice, fierce affection in his dark eyes
Azure satin enveloping her delicately, a tender sheathe
Taking her away, to their ice castle
Where love blooms in winter

You captured the fairy tale very well. This poem reminds me of the first time I put a pair of iceskates on in Rockefeller Center. I kept falling down and my feet would turn from side to side. As far as having a prince charming there to rescue me, I don’t recall, but it would have been nice. The imagery is amazing. Good work and very romantic too.

You have a way with words – they painted a beautiful picture. I felt myself there on the ice rink, skating around. Very romantic!

I like your poetry more and more. You write good poetry about cats. As this poem describes the perfect romance.
