Winterdaisy

Winterdaisy swirls

like a frosty blizzard

stretching across the winter wonderland

with soft albino petals

The frozen stem,

as still as a corpse

that shatters every summer year

easily as a frozen lake.

It’s grassy green roots

destroying anything in its path,

protects the frosty diamond within its roots

like a ferocious lion guarding Family.

The blue leaves hang

like a weeping willow tree

but the leaves are prickly and poisonous with a tingle of venom

and flutters in the cold air.
