#7Succulent green shoots
test the air
Like timid toes into the lake.
Searching for light
Feeling for warmth
Photosynthesizing
Bursting forth
Like the sun on the horizon
Pale buds unfurl
Until, fulblown,
Bright yellow trumpets,
In a tide of jonquils.
Reveille, reveille
They shout:
Welcome spring!

Beautiful...The season and your poem.
Reveille! Of course! The perfect image for these little trumpets!
A bit like your poetry, Rel - bursting forth with pride!
Your words and your photo, so lovely and serene.
Yes, wake up, wake up...Spring is finally here...and I weary of the cold and dreary!
such a seemingly simple flower with such power as to be a muse for us all.
What a gracious analogy..... and Rel, I smile back at daffodils too!
Reveille, they shout...indeed!! A great welcome!
Dandi-lion wine. Of course, the perfect libation for spring.
