Spring Rising

Spring pushes ground to cherished green patches in sun (splattered) that breaks the grayness that winter shows in its shuttered shops of cold Daffodils ambush sight with a snappy smirk of yellow each with six petals circling an inner crown soulful flowers harpooning sadness like spring deflating winter woes rumbling in guarded vision Re-centering a search for comfort in what breaks through April's reluctance to find a spotlight worthy like daffodils' benign seduction showy trumpets, gush of swagger in a golden pose of color When our world returns to focus unmasking missing faces.
