Proud In the Sunshine

Proud golden field of daffodils, clustered at my knees You woke to springtime sunshine, and revel the breeze You flaunt your cheerful ruffles, and spread your springtime chuckles But soon your season passes by, with smiles that cannot last With green, tall swords, still standing proud, to show your place of rest I’ll braid them into plaits of rust And feel a sense of loss ~ For Francine's Contest: Daffodils or *****willows By Carrie Richards 2/27/12

Carrie, it's really sad that daffodils have such a short life span. Just last night I was talking to another Souper about the best writers here and we both agreed that you are one of them. Magnificent imagery is your trademark. Congratulations on your win! Love, Carolyn
