In the home stretch

Mini Daffs

Week upon week
 Of four degrees
 Week upon week of
   Fourteen degrees
    Winds that howled
     As wolves-a-hunting

     But yesterday
      But today
        Fifty degrees
         Forty degress
         
            Sun and sky send snow on her way
              It's a short reprieve I know
]              
               

                 But it's Spring, peeking around the corner
                   Just before she enters the year

  2. Lovely, lovely! Daffodils smell like butter with lemon and sugar, like creaming them together for lemon butter cookies. Against the damp of decaying forest undergrowth, they'd be lemon butter on bitter orange and oak moss.
