winter has been long snow still measured in feet rests on the back deck and in the front yard but the sun rises earlier the daytime temperature is higher than it has been for months and any new falling snow melts quickly we are still warned about planting flowers until early may at best but somehow when i see your smile i know spring is coming soon tell me the truth do the flowers really winter in your heart?

slick analogy at the end...metaphor or whatever it is. either way, it's chilling truth is one chilly iceblock to swallow. amazing the effects of a season...this poem made me think. i like that.
wonderfully put, George. and as to the last question, yes, flowers do winter in our hearts when there is love involved. what better year round fodder?
