Petals wither,
Leaves wilt
Once a sunny daffodil
Soon destined for the compost hill
Petals wither,
Leaves wilt
Spring has come and gone
I must be moving on
Petals wither,
Leaves wilt
Goodbye.
See you in the spring
You've captured the transient nature of nature - like the way you ended with the positive - 'See you in the Spring' Warmest wishes, Justine
A great poem, it's sad but also reminds us about rebirth for the next spring ans summer. Great work
The changing moods of nature, we have much to learn, A brilliant insight in this, thankyou Love Duncan x
Dee, when I first read this I had a horrible feeling you might be leaving, then I read the dates on earlier comments and was relieved. Great poem and thanks for sharing it my friend. Hugs David
Dee, Nice try! but, even in Canada - - - people cannot hibernate! B.V.A.
There is something gently wistful about this one. More than just the wilting of a flower and the inevitability of change. Perhaps it is the word 'daffodil', it touches something very close to home. Lovely poem. Allie xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Unfortanately flower power is limited only by wintery seasons. It's too bad flowers cannot remain around all year to give the great outdoors it's forever beauty to be enjoyed by one and all. Great write kind mistress of the rhyming word. God bless all poets-MJG.
you've captured the idea of spiral of change and new beginnings perfectly. good piece; me likes the ending. eni da kid

DAFFODILS ARE FOREVER, ESPECIALLY ONES W/ POETIC EXPRESSION LIKE A FINE WINE, SIMPATICO! SO HOPE THIS IS NO AUTO-BIO-PO... ''''''''''''''''''''''FRANK
