Daffodils--By Yvonne Sparkes--England

Daffodils

Clumps of Daffodils shelter by the wall,
Kept safe and warm by new snowfall.
They look so snug and warm, sleepy too,
Getting ready for new birth and view.
This touches my heart, when I behold,
Nature midst it`s trials, can then unfold
Such joy, and hope, when their bright faces show
Bobbing yellow flowers, that nestled in the snow.

Born on Feb. 27, 1940 in Barkingside, Essex, England, Yvonne Sparkes,  immigrated to New York in April, 1948 with her parents.  She now resides in Chelmsford, Essex and has two sons.  She has a book published by Cyberwit called Captured Images.  A writer for many years, Yvonne has been published in Israel, Germany, France, Australia, America, and Britain.  She has read her poetry in public at Church and Knockout Competitions. Her hobbies are travel, the arts, reading, hiking, taking her Scottish Terrier for walks, and spending time with family and friends.

  1. Beautiful visual - warming sight to see the Daffodils bobbing in the light snow, knowing they will survive and finish out their Spring birth. Enjoyable poetry...
