Translucence
how inadequate the Latin
for snowlight through
the jonquil’s matin.
Tag Archives: daffodil
Connections: March 21.18
The snow bedecks the deck
the swing and windowsill
and expletives explode
from every daffodil.
Connections: April 4
Ah, the April fireside
what could be more cozy
as the gentle breath of spring
turns my cheeks all numb and rosy?
As fluffy flakes of snow
pile on the daffy-down-dilly
and twinkling dabs of frost besmirch
emergent spears of lily,
what’s a gardener to do
but sulk at fireplace
and contemplate her chilblains
instead of pansy face?
More thanks to the S.W. Berg Photo Archives.
Connections: March 26
Star-coiffed eye
bright Cyclops
beaming from
its humble copse,
silent canary
bravely first
dulcet fanfare
immemorially rehearsed.
Thanks yet again to the S.W. Berg Photo Archives.
