    I see one lilly,
    late in Feburary,
    early in March,
    its head drooped,
    under a heavy shower....

    From my window,
    the lilly shudders,
    under the pelting arsenal,
    the rain blurrs my vision
    and hides the pain.

    I look to the fire and wish for summer,
    I then look to the lilly and I long for spring.

    Ger

    (i wrote this a long time ago...)

    I really liked this poem.

    I really liked this phrase "under the pelting arsenal," it shows an bad side of nature attacking, forcing itself.

    Very nice keep it up.

    Yeah, "Arsenal" "a bad side" ;) , perhaps a deeper meaning?

    Lily is spelt with one l , unless you're using poetic license for some reason. Just saying :)
