Notes About The Poem

My Spring Flower Delight

"there is no spot of ground that cannot be
 tamed into beauty and delight."  
                               quote_ by Constance

the moment winter softens . . . 
    I will welcome lovely. . . daffodils and tulips
      flowers will spring up from fall bulbs planted
        oh, but where did I plant them
    adore the first snowdrops peeking
out from the melting snow also

         ~ oh,  daffodils with your cheery good looks 
and trumpet yellow blooms and  though short lived
        are sweetly fragrant and velvety   ~ 

        there are tulips
    and there are tulips . . . wonderful and bright
in hues of the rainbow for a wonderful silky show
and in my city there is a spring tulip festival each year
        with thousands of tulips swaying

       ~   and before too long
     I am yearning for swaths of color in purple, lavender,
 pink and orange, for crocuses and day lilies, 
       and  irises in the sun  ~
