Bravely pushing through the brown earth Dislodging last year's leaves A green shoot appears. Onwards and upwards it reaches For the light. Gradually it unfurls its secret To display a perfect white flower Nodding in the slight breeze. A harbinger of Spring, The Snowdrop. |

Moles Steve? Such a wondrous breath of Spring Jayne! Dear Steve, moles would bore their way thru the earth and not come up bravely lol. I fear I do not see flowers coming up down here. They have to be planted lol. |

This is such a beautiful poem, Jayne. A breath of Spring in this cold, cold winter. Peter, I'm so pleased that I'm not the only one who has daffodils in full bloom at this time of year! Mine have been in full bloom since November. Weird or what? Poetess xx |

You have a delicate touch with your poet's pen, Jayne, this is beautifully worded, the heralding of spring (normally), but, here in the south, we have had mimosa on our tree since before Christmas and daffs opened last month, long before the snowdrops this time, Zy |

Hy, Jayne, in Add-a-Stanza, see left hand index, the new genre is Spring, this would sit very well in there. It is not post and reply, simply a short inspired piece about named subject, posted as replies in add on fashion, one after the other, this would be a perfect addition, Zy |
