Springing forward to the sun,
growth afresh has now begun
with the daylength getting longer,
creeping warmer, summer nearer,
embryonic leaves enlarging
through protective scales emerging
from their winter hide-away
now they seek the light of day
to make food, and bring us pleasures,
triggering their floral treasures
to develop – beauty, bounty
foliage and food in plenty.

[IP: Spring Forward.]

There are little signs, though the temperature is still up and down! Thanks, Rhiannon

Feel so sorry for all the plants that had started new leaves and then got bashed by the snow. Now they are trying again and I hope they will be safe this time

! I love to see the crinkled up little leaves poking or 'squirting' out! So delicate often of colour and texture too. Rhiannon

It's a lovely spring morning here - and an extra hour of daylight always puts me in a good mood!

yes, the sunshine boosts us up, and boosts the growth again, which again becomes a boost to our mood! Thanks, Rhiannon

Hello Rhiannon,

This is a nice description of Spring.  I particularly liked  'triggering their floral treasures...'

A beauty of a poem Rhiannon, describing the coming season.

Thank you, Jenny. Glad you enjoyed. This week's sunshine here has made quite a difference to the daffodils etc. ! Rhiannon
