Joseph, for me, I found this dark. The photo is stark, the black & white reflects today's times. Honestly, it resembles a target, with the deceased roses resembling arrows. Heaviness on the heart. This said, I'm on the same page as @Laura London, it's incredibly moving, and startling. Thank you for sharing your beautiful gift.
A great one. I like the image of the frozen asphalt like cellophane sheets. And the line which earns the right to stand on its own: "defying a speechless season."
Beautiful. The photo alone is so moving… is that a deceased flower
Yes, dead or dormant flowers poking out of the snow. Thank you.
I see the same.
Love it. Read aloud worthy.
Poignant
Thank you Joseph. The poem is as good as the photo.
Seconded

What a chilly work! Ha ha ha, great job.
Evocative and bittersweet, tracing snow, ice, and the speechless season. Beautiful picture. Thank you.
