Spring Anthem

daffodils
nodding 
their heads
keeping rhythm 
with the wind

miniature 
white 
rose-like 
bridle veil
bowing over the fence 

tiny wildflowers 
in pinks and whites
happily enjoying 
extra hours 
of daylight

vinca vines 
on the hillside 
in showy deep 
lavender 
sublime 

sunshine yellow 
forsythia 
blooms 
burst open 
on bare limbs

a bushy,
rose-pink 
japonica 
turns its face 
to the sun

spring 
sings her anthem
as soft showers begin
welcoming new life
to earth again
