L Milton Hankins Poet Couplet

Spring Flowers

I saw fields of yellow-gold daffodils
A sight my heart with enthusiasm fills,

Few things touch my soul with such happiness
I’m a sucker for lawn flowers, I guess,

I hardly wait for tulips to appear
Enjoying them before they feed the deer,

Tiny violets on the lawn delight
They are fighting nips of spring air despite

Lawn mowers onslaught will be coming soon,
Sweet dandelions blooming before noon.

Gershon Wolf February 25, 2022 at 7:32 AM Never thought of it before I read your poem, Milt, but perhaps there's a 'cause-and-effect' relationship between the lawnmower and the dandelions. Added to which, a vicious cycle ensues! lol. ~ Catch-22 L Milton Hankins February 25, 2022 at 8:12 AM Absolutely. Those little dandelions have such a will to live and thrive. Also, despite how much anguish they cause some people, they are beautiful, in their own way.
