Spring Forsythia

She survives through the winter, but she seeks no favors Peeking through the green Rain is her friend, she comes in the spring Inviting the sunshine, to smile on her face Nothing can rival, her bright golden grace Gladness she brings, to each vibrant place Forsythia's splendor Of her bright yellow swirls Reaches the sunshine when the thaw breaks Subdued and dormant, she suddenly wakes Yawning and stretching...she raises her head To suddenly blossom, and stirs in her bed Her sovereign beauty delights everyone In faithful gold flowers...under the sun A treasure of gold at the first sign of spring For Carol Brown's contest...."Flowers of Spring"

Yawning and stretching.....coool lines, Girl! A beautiful flower indeed. Someone brought a huge bouquet of these to the hospital for the staff to enjoy. It was the centerpiece of attention for days! Gwendolen

Incredible images of the forsythia waking after a long winter. When I lived in NJ, they were among the first signs of spring, Carrie. Unfortunately, they don't seem to grow in Florida, but there are some flowers that bloom here year round. Such a lovely poem for Carol's contest. Surely a winner, dear. Love, Carolyn
