Early Spring

The crocus explode in glory
from winters' dominance
and birth across the landscape
secrets of providence.

The iris and the tulip
strike chords in memory
adding voice and violin
to a sight exemplary.

The smile of early spring
vague feelings of delight
these daffodils hold on to
a sanguine view of life.

What is this about? I know about 50 words that don't make sense and explain nothing.

Thank you for taking time to read and comment. On one level it is simply about spring. On another, about a cheerfully optimistic view I hold to, especially in spring. Like anything I write, take from it what you may. ~ Chuck
