The Great Reversal

  Where once a green and virile vine Twined its length upon your frame, Frost has thrust his hoary head, Icy claws have staked their claim. * Do not lose hope as Winter’s grip Sinks fangs of doom into your heart; Where once his frozen work remained, Spring’s greenery will grow her art.

Where once a green and virile vine

Twined its length upon your frame,

Frost has thrust his hoary head,

Icy claws have staked their claim.

*

Do not lose hope as Winter’s grip

Sinks fangs of doom into your heart;

Where once his frozen work remained,

Spring’s greenery will grow her art.

    It’s a lovely time when winter starts to leave and you can see the tiny green buds starting to develop as if they are waking up. Spring may be on her way soon. Nice post.

      I’ll take your word for it – another Arctic blast of cold we had here today. But – March is around the corner. It can’t be too long now!!
