All Hail! The trumpeters,
Stars of gold announcing Spring,
Appear once again

Daring Daffodils
Heads held high
Facing the elements
The trumpeters
Narcissists
Endure cold, snow, wind, rain
Marching into Spring

Spring in My Step
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!
Winter Surprise
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.
February’s Floret

A morning delight
Overnight
While I slept
Beautiful posy in sight

February Emergence
The Sprouts of Spring, what joy they bring!

WIND in all seasons
Whispering
In the trees
Nipping at my nose
Dancing with the leaves

Ephemeral Joy
In the days of my youth
When time was of no essence
No thoughts for the morrow
Entered my lofty world
As I grew vibrantly
In the fresh breezes of life
Enjoying the sun’s kiss
Until touched by Autumn’s breath
I felt the brevity of life

The Legacy of March
March of many weathers enters
Like a Lion’s loud roar
Shaking the barren tree limbs
From their sleepy core
Awakening season’s centers
To life once more
Then the Lion sleeps, time dims
March shuts Winter’s door
With Daffodil’s as assenters
And Songbirds galore
March leads a chorus of hymns
Life to restore
As Springtime rain mentors
March exits, no encore.
Like a frisky Lamb she skims
Toward the exit door
