Notes About The Poem

Spring

Today, the long lost sun
hides and peeks, poking
patches of snow to evaporate.

Green tinges from trees
faintly shine through
bare branches,
a halo effect.

Yawning yellow daffodils nod,
egregiously succeeding
navigation of lingering
winter weather.

Lack of spring's sun
contributes to
lackadaisical plant growth,
fostering fortuitous 
environmental confusion.

Nature awaits spring's
steady stream
of daylight to
energize and incite
trees and flowers
to bloom.

James Inman April 29, 2018 at 5:22 PM Image filled write Susan. My mother loves Daffodils, especially Jonquils. (To make a Narcissus grow you have to tickle it under its cup, it likes the attention-a little flower humor.) Susan Gentry April 29, 2018 at 7:23 PM Lol! Thank you James. I fell for that little humor lol.

Michelle Faulkner April 29, 2018 at 9:49 AM Great free verse and vocabulary - I love words like "egregiously" and "lackadaisical"! Susan Gentry April 29, 2018 at 12:24 PM I know, right? I've always liked those two. I probably overuse them :) Thank you for reading and commenting. Appreciate it.

John Gondolf April 28, 2018 at 6:38 AM Very nice images of spring. I felt like I had read this before then I realized you borrowed some of the thoughts from Spring Peekaboo. Enjoyed. John Susan Gentry April 28, 2018 at 6:44 AM Yes I did. Thank you for noticing. This one had to be free verse and Im not very experienced with free verse.
