Daffodils & Ladybirds Poem by Michael Pruchnicki

daffodils grow in muck and mire
just because it's spring
ladybirds sigh and cluck
O! how lovely

that beauty like that
can arise breaking
through the piled up
feces in the garden

spade and hoe
the daffodils out back
won't you, dear man
never mind the crap

that bogs you down
because nature's way
yields such ravishing
beauty in spring

it seems that poets
do the same
fertilize with bullshit
and poems bloom!
