Spring flowers
Bright buds of hope
Shine from a dark earth
Freshest green spikes
Against snowy soft petals
Little umbrellas, promising spring.
Not long until they're joined
By plump purple crocus
Yolky mouths wide
Calling to the sun.
Then the triumphant March of
Brassy daffodils, silky narcissi,
Foamy blossom bathed trees,
Heralding spring loudly through colour
But I get ahead of myself
Wishing away this winter,
One single snowdrop
Bobs in the rain
A tiny step in the right direction.
