Ladies of the Evening Lawn

Photo by me; these two daffodils have been in bloom for almost a month and were there during the last snowfall.




Ladies Of The Evening Lawn
 

 
They survived the late snowfall
Theses ladies on the lawn
Dressed in dainty golden gowns
They nod in the chilly breeze
They dance in the gathering gloom
Of fading day
They waltz
They twirl
They whirl
They swoon
In the scents of awakening spring
Until the stars appear
And a moonbeam sparkles
On their dew-dappled skin
And they fall asleep
 
Goodnight ladies
Goodnight

Daffodils have an inate toughness that complements the time of year they bloom. Their leaves, even their petals, are thick and leathery. It's a miracle they even grow at all. Yet when the sun warms their bed on a early spring day, they can't resist the urge to thrust up into the cold wind and dazzle us with their daring.

absolutely a deep hearted velvet touch,,loved the capture of the picture,,,it really gives more meaning to the words,,,why is it that in dawn of the morn, and the twilight of the evening, seems to make one think it's hard to think of the cruelness and hardships of the world when there are words and pictures like this,,,but unfortunatley it's all out there, and thank God we have people like you to take us away, even if it's only for a moment,,thank you for your comment on my writing,,look forward to reading more of yours,,,thanks for sharing,,

Reg, this is so lovely. So simple, yet elegantly stated. You should send this one to Sondra Ball. She'd love it too, and no doubt would want to put it in this coming issue of Autumn Leaves. You hit a home run my friend, and your photography is fantastic too. Your light exposure works so well with the text of the poem.(Gracious I just noticed that you are being tracked by 91 people. Is that a record for AD or what?!!!)
