The first of my tete a tete daffodils has just opened! Spring must be very close indeed, even though there was a brief flurry of snow in Canberra on the weekend. So here is a celebratory ha’ sonnet.
A tete a tete
with daffodils,
“Well met! Well met!”
their greeting fills
me with delight,
and hope, despite
so grey a day.

A lovely ode to spring’s preview, Kate!
Daffodil Thrill
Spring is springing
despite the snow
Daffy’s bringing
their yellow glow
Winter’s surly
since it’s early
and gray’s the day
Bravo Stephen! 😀 and now it’s hailing as well.
Thanks, Kate. Your ha’sonnet has been inspiring. I guess it’s the thought of spring while we are sluggushy moving through summer’s heat.
Winter’s Pushback
The daffodil
a bit obtuse
was Springtime’s shill
when hail broke loose
It tried too soon
to change the tune
from doom and gloom
Excellent! 🙂 ❤
Stay safe – the fires and heat in the US have been on the news here.
Thank you! 😁 Fortunately the fires are on the other side of the country. Unfortunately the smoke is effecting the air quality here.
Nicely penned!
Thank you Lucy!
Sweet!! I saw some beautiful japonicas against a blue grey fence on this grey day and they, like your daffodils, were tremendously cheering
Oh, I do love a japonica – they’re so elegant when they’re in flower, with the bare stems. They must have looked against the blue grey.
