Sweet 
flowers
beautify
pots and gardens
xanthic daffodils
dance on a zephyr breeze
watch them raise their trumpet blooms
It’s as though they are announcing
the dull dark days of winter are gone
and stunning spring has finally arrived!

Yes indeed! I saw my first spring daffodils yesterday driving back from grocery shopping – planted in a round-about. A sight for longed for eyes! / Maurice

I have used the phrase several times since wrote a haiku called 'heavenly herald' I was thrilled as it was published in a haiku journal - I had never even heard of haiku before I joined soup back in 2014! hugs Jan xx

I like the vision of daffodils making sound through a trumpet. I loved the entire flow of this poem. Your poem gives me assurance, that yes, Spring is on its way.
