In our wet spring, it is good to see the daffodils emerging


Daffodils

Daffodils surprise
emerging out of black earth
as Spring arises

Daffodils for us were plentiful this year, the crocuses not so much. They are all of them good to see!

I thought our were late here too. Honestly, the daffodil and the snowdrop, two of my favourite flowers, so delicate yet so resilient

Love a good Haiku and love daffodils, such "happy" flowers.

I usually don't like haikus, but this one succeeds. It says all that needs to be said, and does so artfully. Well done, Dougie.

I like this very much.
And - forgive me for my verbosity - it is very poignant for me, this, Dougie. It reminded me immediately of the last stanza of something I wrote ("Another Line In The Sand") in which I penned:

See, there were spindly daffodils
Growing on brake dust sprinkled verges
That I would likely never pass again.

Yesterday was my mother's deathday, so those words were very much in my mind. (Also my father's birthday.)
Blessings, Allen
