First day of Spring
Sun is shining bright
Daffodils
Sashaying
To the music of songbirds
In the gentle breeze

Blessings to all my family, friends and followers!
I hope you are all are experiencing a delightful First Day of Spring wherever you are at this time.
I do pray for those in quarantine and lockdown that they can still look outside and see the beauty of nature and for those who are shut in with illnesses at this time I pray for your speedy recovery as well.
Yellow stars
Scattered about
Nod hello
Inviting
Me to stop and watch them dance
Each day as I pass by
Shadorma
Enjoying the new life
Springing up all around me
Singing and dancing
With the birds and daffodils
Shaking off winter doldrums

Green shoots popping up,
Patches of yellow abound,
Spring has come again!

I felt like Chicken Little today as everywhere I went I kept saying “ Spring is here! Spring is here!”
It may not say Spring yet on the calendar but it was very present all around my area today.
I was seeing patches of yellow daffodils in my neighbors yards and green shoots of more to come soon, hearing birds singing and lawnmowers humming, smelling fresh cut grass and enjoying the bright sunshine! What a delightful change from the damp, dark, cold days of winter!
Yes, Spring weather is here and I am enjoying every moment of it!
What will this day bring?
Birds begin to sing,
What a cheerful sound!
Signs of Spring abound.
Daffodils in bloom,
Chase winter’s gloom.
Winter’s letting go,
My heart’s all aglow!
Syllabic Rhyme
Springtime
Abounds around
We feel it in the air
See it bursting everywhere
We rejoice!
Cinquain
All Hail! The trumpeters,
Stars of gold announcing Spring,
Appear once again
Haiku
Heads held high
Facing the elements
The trumpeters
Narcissists
Endure cold, snow, wind, rain
Marching into Spring
Shadorma
Walking down the street
Daffodils strewn all about
Flowers at my feet

Today as I was walking downtown in search of a restaurant, my eyes beheld a strange sight. I was passing by an old abandoned theatre and there, in the entrance way were scattered 5 fresh, bright golden daffodils, just waiting for a leading lady to pick up. How fortuitous for me!
Spring hopes vanish
Morning snowflakes falling
Daffodils snow dance

Haiku Horizons Weekly Challenge Week#208 Prompt: Vanish
Our Pacific Northwest has been enjoying an unseasonably mild February this year causing flowers to bloom early and folks to feel as though Spring has come. However this morning Winter decided to let us all know that it was still hanging around by sending us a flurry of big heavy wet snowflakes. causing our lovely early bloomers to get covered in white. Thankfully the snow didn’t last long and the sun came out to melt it all away.
