Daffodils

Jack Horne


Picking twelve bunches of daffodils -
I knew they were her favourites -
I stood beneath catkin trees,
Listening to the chicks
Calling their parents,
Waiting for grubs.
Then she came,
And smiled…
Muah!


For Nonet me a spring kiss

Jack, daffodils have such a rare, delicate quality and I like the way the petals seem to hold a loving cup in the center. Your poem made me smile! I hope she appreciated the daffodils as much as I enjoyed this poem. Love, Carolyn
