NaPoWriMo 2024 Day 12

Happy Friday the Twelfth! Very gray and rainy day here which makes the front daffodils look fluorescent out there. I do wonder sometimes about the people who drive by – I hope they bring some happiness to others every April. The bulbs may be here for a very long time.

outside in the rain
this year’s tree buds holding a
single silver drop

wind-scattered raindrops
gravity will make them
fall again

Forty year old bulbs
every year a yellow
wonder – daffodils

If I ever win the lottery, maybe I could spread more daffodil joy!

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
