The Daffodils

The daffodils are cropping up; They’re sprouting everywhere, Reacting to the light and warmth – Of germs, they just don’t care. They do not know from quarantines Or canceled sports events But proudly wave their yellow heads With joyous spring intents. They’re unaware of closing schools Or empty stores and trains, Just bobbing in the sunshine And awaiting April rains. To see the daffodils today Was Nature’s humble gift Bestowing, in this stressful time, A sorely needed lift.

So cute - But proudly wave their yellow heads/With joyous spring intents. Uplifting!

I am so glad that you have them already. I am going to run outside and embrace my meadow now, hoping to find my own daffodil as they are usually the first in the spring parade to arrive!

Aye! One wonders how yellow became associated with cowardice? Aloha! Rico

What a topical poem, Let's hope our flora and fauna doesn't get some other deadly disease. We are planning to go on a trail called the daffodil walk there are millions of the flowers in and around a private estate but the public footpath goes round the land, its stunning! Hugs jan xx

Yes, indeed! Here where I live the first green blades are pushing upward, and crocuses are fading out, but flowering trees and bushes are showing their buds. Also pussy willows are for the picking too! It's a wonderful time to be alive. I've already started my daily walks with my dog. Robins are everywhere now, as are baby rabbits and woodchucks. Thanks for stopping by. / M
