Daffy O' Dill

I spotted her from far away 
a thin tart
Very svelte in a form 
fitting long green gown
Her face shrouded by 
a rather large
oversized 
Buttercup yellow 
bonnet 
Daffy O' Dill 
The Spring maiden 
flaunting and teasing 
Passers by.  Who could miss 
the huge bonnet
Towering over the 
thin frame as she flowed with
The wind and sunned herself. 
 A bee stopping 
To sip of her powerful 
aromatic nectar which 
Nature provided.
 To the Bee an ambrosia, a 
Delightful natural cocktail 
of Devine proportions.
Ah yes and his spiritual adviser
 the Hummingbird
In a bit of a hurry 
not too impressed with
Daffy O' Dills' lack 
of sweetness prefers roses
Or more fragrant pastoral flowers. 
We must 
Welcome Daffy O' Dill 
for even though Old Man 
Winter covers her 
and hoards her for himself
She always erupts svelte 
and glorious a sanctimonious
Welcome to spring 
that one cannot ignore.
