Springtime\'s First.
Brave little unfurling faces,
too early I fear, their dancing will change
as gales foreshadow new year.
Nature\'s yellows battle to chase
ways to smile despite icy show by raising
of races as winter\'s end nears.
Daffodil courage is famous
but when winds ravage hills making daily
havoc frail flowers pay dearly.
Springtime\'s first open dainties
know to un-hibernate invites decapitation
yet daffodils never pale in fear.
