Poem (Snowdrops)

I want to share my latest poem, a poem which I wrote shortly before the start of spring. It is one of my favourites.

Snowdrops

Unlike flowers whose petals reach so high,
Snowdrops have petals hidden from sky.
They are pearl earrings in every garden,
Precious to their floral maiden.

Since early times they have been known,
And slowly love for them has grown.
Even in deep dark days of winter,
They bring the joy and warmth of summer.

Blooming snowdrops bring hope and love
Under the pure white of clouds above.
Their soft petals are bells of sound
Supported by stalks piercing firm ground.

Though snowdrops are but one of many,
They are true symbols of purity
With their elegant petals of white
Enhanced by rays of welcome sunlight.

Filling hearts with elation,
Snowdrops are treasures of creation
Turning gardens into a spectacle
With flowers vibrant and ornamental.
