Delicate wild daffodils
scattered on the woodland floor,
dainty clumps of leaves poke through
crisp leaves fallen long before.

With the onward march of March
more buds grow and swell, unpeel,
sunbeams falling through bare trees
a lemon host reveal.

Such a pretty poem. Makes me feel like spring is near.

Is this intended as a metaphor? Daffodils are the flower of cancer, and your poem sounds like healing. If so, well done.

Thank you for your appreciation.
Not meant as a metaphor, but their delicate colour is certainly soothing, and did us good to wander among them yesterday, with the sunlight and breeze, even though they are not fully out yet. Rhiannon

Thank you for the cherries. The area around Newent in Gloucestershire is famous for its wild daffodil woods. Rhiannon

I hoped you come up with another beautiful nature poem Rhiannon and you haven't disappointed.

Perfect for the magic of the season and put a smile on my face. I also loved the photo too.

Lovely little poem, captures their pretty, yellow freshness. You can't ignore them when they whisper 'Cheer up spring is coming'.

Thanks, Jane. and these wild ones are very delicate in colour and size, but when the whole 'sea' is out later in March they are particularly beautiful, and complement the darker yellow larger garden 'trumpets'! Rhiannon
