This is a classic Tom Only an experienced gardener could write such a gem. I have been waiting for your return to the poet workshop and am very pleased at this effort thank you
Hi Wes, Than.ks I've been busy editing for Annette & others so I need to catch up on your poems and others. Sorry about that. We are lucky on the West Coast here as we get few frosts. Something to do with the Gulf Stream. There are still more Violas than I can count!

Beautiful images Tom! My December garden has no color; only a soft layer of fall leaves, some nuts pocketed away by squirrels, and the dry stalks of chives that I kept for as long as possible. I love the vivid colors and the way you engage the senses into your poem.
If I keep dead-heading the violas they may last until the aconite and snowdrops take over. The roses stay still the first severe frosts. There was only one occasion last year when I had to scrape my car wind screen so I, m keeping my fingers crossed. Thanks for your comments.
