for Aurea...the smuggler...


Flowers

Flowered quite gentle
Quite soft incremental
I view these three daffodils
Smuggled from my homeland-
How they trumpet their beauty
And oh what a cutie the smuggler is.

They are as precious as gold
And when crushed to my face
They tear me home with the scent
Of long lost laments unsung.
If I had any sense I would juggle
My flowers much more hardy... and yet

Spring flowers fill me with hope.

West Yorkshire was a riot of colour this year.Starting with snowdrops, crocuses, and now daffs...Nothing better to remind one of home, hope through spring, and true friendship..

Loved the concept of the smuggler, Spring and hope go together, you have melded these sooo well.

This is beautiful Linda. You do justice to Daffodils!
You've smiled me face!

"And oh what a cutie the smuggler is" . . . an irrelevant comment but you described my new grandson, who I caught yesterday eating a dandelion . . . to him it was a beautiful flower, to be experienced the way a fourteen-month-old exeriences everything - by tasting it. How soon we lose that "taste for life".

Why worry? Sometimes, things aren't so delicate as they seem.
