Winter's Revenge

We came through the winter months With just a few short days of snow. Now the daffodils are blooming In the big fields row on row. Though the winter months are waning. White has sifted over gold. I open up the door to find The North Wind blowing cold. A few short days of snow have come To prove winter is still King. Though we may be quite impatient, We must wait awhile for spring. Now the daffodils are blooming And the blossoms must be picked. Winter sprung his big surprise to show He may be down but he’s not licked. In the big fields, row on row, Each March, the workers must relearn, Despite the daffodils in bloom, Winter demands all of his turn. Won a 4th with this

gosh, you made it look so simple with your approach. You simply took each line from the first stanza and applied it to the first line of each new stanza. Crap, why didn't I think to do it that way. I love your style. SO simplistic and making a lovely rhyme of it. Congrats.
