Rose petals falling to
The Earth.
A symbol of
The Crippling winter to come.
Their delicate, waxy covering
Unable to bear
The Burden of being
Numb as
The Death-gripping frost
Gradually approaches.

Author's Note: I actually wrote this for a class in high school...but I don't remember any particular inspiration but I really enjoy this one myself :-)
