A Springtime Bloom

A springtime bloom with golden hue Swaying 'neath clouds with fluffy plume Symbols of hope and all things new A springtime bloom They dare to rise in winter's gloom As their trumpets come into view One season fades, as one's abloom Petals glisten with morning dew Weaving beauty on springtime's loom They always appear right on cue A springtime bloom 10-27-19 Writing Challenge - October- 2019 - Flower or Flowers Contest Sponsor: Dear Heart - Wiishkobi Ode Flower Chosen: Daffodils ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A roundel consists of nine lines each having the same number of syllables, plus a refrain after the third line and after the last line.
