National Poetry Month: Daffodils 3 of 30
It's National Poetry Month. This month, I'll be on the lookout for JOY this year. In an effort to CHOOSE JOY, I'll share a poem each day this month about what I find.
What would spring be
without a poem
about daffodils?
Without a poem
that reminds
of their beauty?
Without pausing to note
the way they confidently
begin a spring parade of flowers?
Without putting words
on a page to celebrate
their arrival?
What would spring be
without a poem
to make us pause
to celebrate the daffodil?

Indeed. I have one in my haiku diary from March! Daffodils are so joyful...and so HOPEful.
ReplyDeleteI continue to search for one, thinking our warm days will bring them forth! They do deserve all the pausing we can do!
ReplyDeleteI agree! Daffodil poems are essential to the season!
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love this! Planning to share Ralph Fletcher's daffodil poem with my sixth graders on Tuesday. Would it be all right if I shared yours also?
ReplyDeleteI looked as the daffodils as I walked out your front yard to walk. In spite of the cold temperatures, they proudly held their heads high..
