My heart overflows when there's a chance for sunshine, silence, and solitude in which to write on days like this. But first, at breakfast, I rejoice before a vase of bright, new daffodils, a favorite early spring flower.
Later, from the kitchen, I glance back at the table and find the sunshine has moved, and now fills the yellow blossoms with a beauty of more than its own. Hence, the following double tiny haiku like poem:
Daffodils
catch morning's sunlight,
say, yes! yes!
This morning:
sunlight, daffodils
Yes!
