Before the spring had raised her head
Into the frozen chill
A blizzard gust was yet to drop
It’s weight on wooded hill

Yet spring would not precede its time
Nor from it’s nest would budge
Not even with a gaggle’s plea
Nor early robin’s nudge

The equinox would measure time
And yet the spring would wait
For there was still a snowy storm
To pour through April’s gate

But when God’s finger pointed spring
Toward barren rolling hills
She quickly spread a lovely coat
Of yellow daffodils

Wonderful poem, Elizabeth! It certainly has one anxious for spring's awakening.

Liz...you grow flowers in your heart and bring warmth to all who know you. Happy new year, dear friend.

Elizabeth, in about four more months God will point His finger this way. Lovely poem to start off the new year and cold days of January.

Happy New Year.

What a stunning poem! I love the way you turn the poem into golden visuals and Spring obeys the hand of God, from daffodils to golden rod!

This is a keeper! Karen

The personification of the elements made this poem more enjoyable, I will have to remember this technique.
