Flowers

--------- . startled, golden yellow daffodils peeking through new fallen snow false Spring had hypnotized the hidden bloom into seeking sun's warmth and shrugging off her covering nature can be harsh too eager blooms often die.... daffodils too tough As tough as she digging through the drifting snow for golden treasure By: Joyce Johnson won 6th place For Constance La France's contest Nature, Four in One

Indeed, nature can be harsh, but that never seems to stop spring from arriving eventually. You did a great job combining all the forms, Joyce, and I love the images here. Best wishes in Constance's contest! Love, Carolyn

Joyce I think as the 3rd form is Haiku here as per Constance the form should be written Haiku.

Ahhh, I see you got one up. I still have to type mine and then it will be good to go! My favorites of all these were the crystalline and the kimo. I love in the senryu how you had "her" digging for golden treasure. What a lovely image. Good luck in the contest, dear.
