The Daffodils in massed array <br />their yellow trumpets on display <br /> are flaunting beauty shamelessly <br />. They see no need for modesty. <br />Their growing season all too brief. <br /> ‘Till time the ever present thief. <br />Robs them of their vitality <br /> a crime of opportunity. <br />The early springtime beauty show <br />of yellow blooms which freely grow <br /> along the verge of every road. <br />Natural beauty a la mode. <br />Some pass them by unseeingly. <br />For them I have no sympathy. <br /> <br />2-Apr-08<br /><br />ivor or ivor.e hogg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/just-look-for-m-lady-ernestine/
