Winter Rose

Flowers are waking
Stretching out petals
Deep breaths they are taking
As springtime settles

Winter melts 'way
It never can last
But now the birds stay
'Till snow is forcast

When the snow shall then fall
Winter rose will then bloom
The winter needs it more
To bring life to the gloom.

thank you

thank you my friend I will fix my poem standing alone.. I went to the school of hard knocks, and I really don't spell well but I do try hard and always try to do better, its all I can do.. and I just love your work..
God Bless You

Sweet of you

That was sweet of you to say drmvalley =]. I know how difficult spelling can be, so don't worry about it. The message still got across. Thank you for your compliment =]. I cannot tell you how happy it makes me to know that you like my poetry.

May the paths you must take be the ones you want to take.

Great poem...

Unusual ending, I like how you ended this write, yet you still
make the winter's rose beautiful in the previous stanzas! The
ending gives this piece an interesting jolt!

thanks you again my friend

you are so very kind and understanding and I thank you for that
you do know you are and have a very rare spirit
God Bless You
Susan Jean

drmvalley and old aspirations

oldaspirations--I'm glad you think the ending was good. I don't really consider this one of my better poems, because I don't think I'm good at rhyming (I'm better at just freestyle), but it seems it was mildly enjoyable to some people =]. Thank you for that.

drmvalley--You, yourself, are a very nice person. In the things that you write, your gentle soul seems to reach out and try to change the world and inspire. That is a very admirable.

=-)

I LOVED it, and it fits with your penname! =-)

My goodness

I did not mean to make you cry drmvalley =]. I think you are a wonderful person.

Thank you for your comment, TigerLily =]. I don't consider this one of my better poems, as I've said before. Actually, I just vamped up a poem I found from a couple years ago, and it still isn't that good. It doesn't deserve this praise. But I am grateful for your support =] All of my reviewers, as well.

Nice...

I like the rythm and the flow. Great write.

Thanks a mill, jh88

I'm very glad that you liked the rhythm and flow of this, jh88. I actually came up with it for a short story I was writing, and I needed just a little blurb of a poem, and I just scribbled this one down, minus the part about Winter Rose--that I added later. I think it's a bit weak and doesn't have a very strong flow, but I am pleased that you appreciate it none the less =]. Thanks for the comment.

Hey, My Lady!

Have you published any short stories? If so, I'd like to know where to read them. I've written a few short stories, none of them published...still writing, still trying. Working on a novel - as time permits. Please, wish me luck. I've enjoyed your poetry so much, I'd love to read a story you've written. You mentioned a story in your reply to jh88. I'd love to read more of your writings.
My Lady, consider me a fan!

hi just call me silly

I hope this messages was for me if not don't tell me cause it made my day LOL
one can dream can't they
I'm not sure just yet how this message thing works just yet
was this message for the one and only white rose
I have a short story wasn't sure if you can post it here can you I will
I would love some feed back and I would love to read yours if you don't mind
God Bless You

Oh, drmvalley!

drmvalley! I am afraid tj was speaking to ~me~ in that message....the way the messaging works is that once you comment on a poem, you are subscribed to that particular poem, meaning that every time there is a new comment, it is sent to you via email. This does not mean the comments are addressed to you, but to the writer (usually). You are just sent the comments to see what other readers had to think of the poem that you also commented on. Understand? It took me awhile to understand, too. You can always find out what poem the comment is from by following the link given at the bottom of the email with the comment.

If it makes any difference, I would love to read your short story =]. I do not believe you can post it here, but there are plenty of sites out there that would allow you to. You can just redirect your poetry fans to that other website by posting your link in your profile. If you want any help finding a site, I'll gladly assist. I am eager to see what your story was about =].

Sorry for the misunderstanding! I know that is not what you wanted to hear....=[ =[ I hope I eased the pain a little!!!

Confusion is the beginning of better understanding.

thanks love

Confusion is my middle name thank you dear friend

And tj...my Kind Sir

Oh, tj...You are such a nice person =] I am pleased and honored beyond words at the comments you have given me. The short story I was writing was actually for a contest, but it didn't win anything. I don't have any short stories posted online, except fanfictions. I am proud to admit that I am a Harry Potter fanatic, and I belong to fanfiction.net, where I use Harry Potter characters and past histories to write new plots. I have written three short romance stories using Harry and Ginny, and one continuous fic that I haven't finished concerning Harry during the summer. Fanfictions are a lot of fun to read and write, and if you haven't read any already, I highly recommend it. Fanfictions are easier to write than regular stories because they come with back stories already and partially to fully developed characters. It's tons of fun. If you want to read some of my writings, I am currently writing there under the name of Time Vortex, though I really should change it to Winter Rose (I like this one much better =] ).

Other short stories have turned out very weak and have been discarded, but I am considering writing one...If you have any ideas, I'm all ears =]. Thank you for your interest and concern.

Writing is the exchange of pain, love, and other emotions towards the world.

Winter Rose...

Thank you for the info.

My Lady -

Me once again.
Sorry for the intrusion! I'm having trouble finding you at Fanfiction.Net.
Many questions I need to ask before I go any further. First, the opening tells me to DOWNLOAD
Open Office 2.3.1 for PC's or Neo Office. 2.2.2 for
Macs. Should I download and is it safe to do so?
A search of Harry Potter turned up nothing by author Time Vortex. And searching for Time Vortex turned up nothing for Harry Potter.
Is there possibly a title you can give me that might help. Not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I simply cannot find your work.
Contact me again when you can.
Your friend, TJ

Don't worry =]

Don't worry, Kind Sir, tj. You should have no need to download anything. For your conveniance, here is my link: http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1382680/ . Perhaps were at the wrong fanfiction website. I know that can be an easy mistake. Sorry for the trouble. Do not download anything, because if it asks you to, you are on the wrong site. I do hope you enjoy my work if you can find it =].

wInTeR rOsE

Thank you, My Lady

I shall look into it soon and let you know if I've had any luck finding the site.
Hope you don't mind my writing you as often as I have recently, but you are a very talented writer.
A wonderful poet. I like your style. You have a beautiful, and very romantic spirit. Your spirit - and the beauty within - comes shining through with every poem you've written.
My only complaint is - you haven't written enough. Or perhaps I haven't read enough...

all i can say

Is I love you my lady
Your spirit shines so bright
To everyone you touch
God Bless You
Susan Jean

My Dear Lady

Still having trouble finding your work at fanfiction.net. Even with the info you've given me, still can't break thru. Do you have any suggestions?

Help

To help you out, tj, here is a link to my favorite that I have written, Better Than a Rose: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3877255/1/Better_Than_a_Rose . To read other works of mine, click on where it says -- Author: Time Vortex -- at the top. I do hope you can find it. I'm getting anxious for you to read my stories =].

wInTeR rOsE

I'm...

Very anxious, too!
Thank you, my Lady!

Thanks, Winter Rose...

For being so kind.

My...

You flatter me greatly, tj! Thank you so much for all the wonderful things you say!! I do not mind at all you frequent comments--it makes me feel very special =]. I apologize that I have not had time recently to reply. I was not avoiding you, I promise. I just had no time to come onto everypoet. I am very sorry for it, and also sorry for whatever caused you to take me off your buddylist =[. I hope you forgive me.

wInTeR rOsE

Very nice..

It reminds me of my post (Black roses) but just the opposite. great work!

Thanks, luckygrinn

Black rose, huh? Sounds very deep and meaningful...I'll have to go check it out. Thanks for the comment!
