A poem

[Lady Midnight]

Ok it's a little early for this one but the weather where I am is VERY COLD so i thought i'd bring some springtime cheer into everyone's lives. it's an old one I wrote some years back but people still like it.

Daffodils

Stolen from the sun
In an azure sky,
This stray beam fell to earth:
From which sprung up
A golden flower,
The trumpet-hearald,
Announcing Spring.

The cease-fire in Northern Ireland
Has ended;
And it's not safe to eat a burger
These days.
My friend and I once planted
Seeds by the roadside,
Hoping to see some urban beauty
Amongst this dereliction,
And degredation,
And heaps of rubbish.
Never thinking of this golden beauty,
That rejects not the filthiest part of the city
Nor the greenest field:
In this bleak and dismal wasteland
I spy a single, solitary
Daffodil.
