Shrill daffodil
Bright yellow yell
A trumpet
for tight-lipped tulips

    I’ll never think of daffodils are quiet little flowers again. 🙂

    A trumpet! Of course! Excellent imagery, Colleen. Our daffodils have been joined by the yellow-est forsythia bushes I’ve seen in years. Must be the heavy rains we’ve had recently.

    Hi Colleen,
    What a beautiful trumpet — and wonderful photo! I’m so glad I stopped by — I always love your pictures. It’s still sort of winter here. Gray, brown. But today I saw a little pinch of the top of a tulip peeking from the ground and I could have shouted for joy! Soon Spring!

    Just when I thought
    daffodils deserted my
    garden … three showed up ;–)
    I do love daffodils and yours is spectacular (as is your poem). Mine have arrived ‘two-tone’ this year … white with yellow … and I’m not sure how that happened, but I’m truly happy to see them at last.
    Hugs and blessings,

    Hello, Michele sent me to tonight – and I was glad she did because I somehow missed commenting on the beautiful daffodil and the poem. Loved both…
