Bright
yellow daffodils
poke their heads
through hardpack soil,
clinging together in clumps
along roads and pathways
and into meadows and woodlands.
I welcome these harbingers of spring
that lift the gray mood
of winter passed
with the promise
of warmer days
to come.

Pretty words.
ReplyDeleteSpring does wake us up.
When I lived further north, these early bloomers really lifted my spirits. You captured that simple joy perfectly. Great job. Vb

ReplyDeleteGinny,
ReplyDeleteNice work--I just wish the signs would visit where I am!
Not here either, Steve. Still some snow on the ground from last week's little weather surprise. This is just wishful thinking on my part!
