The Iceflower

The Iceflower’s leaves

hang with little, clear

water dew drops.

Their sky blue flowers

come to say hello in winter.

The green stem is as

shiny as an emerald.

Their golden pollen glows like stardust

and swiftly floats in the wind.

They stretch out their vines

that lean on their neighbour trees.

Their red roots,

like barbed wire,

grow in the underground mud.

When they bloom into adult flowers,

their petals turn into solid frost

and smile to say, “See you next winter”.
