Bravely and with marshmallow faces
daffodils thrust through brown leaves
confused by the applause of the wind
with a boldness that only a newcomer would have.
Innocent of their subordinate role
in Nature's ambivalent plunge forward in time
we can pretend this immature spring
is just an anomaly in proportion.
Daffodils entered stage left before their cue
with that eagerness of innocence
and that silliness of a daffy down dilly.
Above with stage make-up.

Love it!
ReplyDeleteI do hope someone speaks to the Chinese quite sternly about this climate change hoax they are perpetuating.
My calendar says it's march 2. Did I miss something?
ReplyDeleteI typed a typo!! I meant March 2 and will correct that.
DeleteBeautiful pictures. Everyone seems to be having weird weather. Climate change is real. Today it's colder in Portland than it is in Antarctica.
ReplyDeleteDaffodils have such pretty faces. They make me smile.
ReplyDeleteThe vernal equinox is March 20. You didn't miss it.
ReplyDeleteI do love your daffodil poem, especially -
"Bravely and with marshmallow faces
daffodils thrust through brown leaves
confused by the applause of the wind
with a boldness that only a newcomer would have."
Somehow I have found two pages that contradict. Need sleep.
DeleteAwesome daffodils... just love their bright yellows. Perky!
ReplyDeleteSuch beauty can be posted in more than one place, if you want.
ReplyDeleteyou would think that bing down here on the Texas coastal plain that my daffodils would bloom before yours or even another blogger in London. but no. they've come up but not bloomed yet.
ReplyDeleteFor a minute there I was wondering if I stepped into an alternate universe. It's still a few weeks until the equinox. We are having typical wet weather here, with more snow showers predicted for the weekend. I'm really ready for spring! Love the daffodil pictures. :-)
ReplyDeleteLovely photograph and poetry. You are so very talented.
ReplyDeletelogical.
ReplyDeleteDaffodils are such cheery, happy flowers. I could use a bit of that lovely color lately.
ReplyDeleteThis weather is making me crazy. Bring on the flowers!
That was fun. I like "applause of the wind" and the silly down daffy dilly. They lend themselves to poetry and metaphors.
ReplyDeleteNice words even if it isn't even near the 20th yet.
