Photo by me; these two daffodils have been in bloom for almost a month and were there during the last snowfall.
Ladies Of The Evening Lawn
They survived the late snowfall Theses ladies on the lawn Dressed in dainty golden gowns They nod in the chilly breeze They dance in the gathering gloom Of fading day They waltz They twirl They whirl They swoon In the scents of awakening spring Until the stars appear And a moonbeam sparkles On their dew-dappled skin And they fall asleep
Lovely photo. Daffodils allure me because I love yellow, my favorite color, Daffodils nod their little heads to passerby's and create a scenic look that makes me want to stop a moment, and leave them after saying a prayer for all my friends and family.
Beautiful! I can feel your love of life in this write. So few of us appreciate the simple joy that exists in everything living around us. really enjoyed this. Pierre.
So pretty. I love your nature poes, the way you see more in an object than most and your pictures are so beautiful. You could be a professional photographer.
I agree with Linda. A picture is worth a thousand words, but your poem entwines both the picture and the words. A very beautiful poem, my dear brother, by a more beautiful soul.
May the Lord Jesus bless you, and those whom you love, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your little sister, Barbie

The photo and poem are a wonder to behold..
I'd like to think that they are twins loving each other throughtout all seasons..
Daffodils have an inate toughness that complements the time of year they bloom. Their leaves, even their petals, are thick and leathery. It's a miracle they even grow at all. Yet when the sun warms their bed on a early spring day, they can't resist the urge to thrust up into the cold wind and dazzle us with their daring.

Love the gentle voice you used in this descriptive write.
Wonderful tribute to these gorgeous gals who display themselves in most ball-like and Cinderella fashion come rain, hail, sleet or snow... and I know what tis like to be caught in the chill in the flimsy frillies!! ;)) You know how to make even nature feel like a Lady, you charmer, Monsieur! Most delicate and beautiful as much becomes your cute French accent... and I have no idea why I am being so flirty on this page today... must be spring! LOL Kate xx
Awwwwwwww. This is sooo. . .dare I say 'neat?' How dated IS it?
But cool doesn't sound right. . .'cuz this poem makes you feel

And with the tender kiss of your words, dear Regis, these ladies will awaken with the dawn.
absolutely a deep hearted velvet touch,,loved the capture of the picture,,,it really gives more meaning to the words,,,why is it that in dawn of the morn, and the twilight of the evening, seems to make one think it's hard to think of the cruelness and hardships of the world when there are words and pictures like this,,,but unfortunatley it's all out there, and thank God we have people like you to take us away, even if it's only for a moment,,thank you for your comment on my writing,,look forward to reading more of yours,,,thanks for sharing,,
Gorgeous picture and a really sweet write. Thanks, Regis!

I do love this, Reg and it only makes me want to pick someone's tulips, daffodils and other beautiful flowers I see along the street!!! I am a thief but would hate to disturb their dance and their life!!! Love your picture also and am still trying to learn how to write in different colors. You write in different colors and I love them all! Take care. Happy Spring. Love from Meredith
Reg, this is so lovely. So simple, yet elegantly stated. You should send this one to Sondra Ball. She'd love it too, and no doubt would want to put it in this coming issue of Autumn Leaves. You hit a home run my friend, and your photography is fantastic too. Your light exposure works so well with the text of the poem.(Gracious I just noticed that you are being tracked by 91 people. Is that a record for AD or what?!!!)
This poem is absolutely beautiful. The picture is awsome and fits the poem well. There are other poems that you can write that will also fit the photo. Great job!
A beautiful picture, underlined and rewarded by a lovely and sweet poem, lifting the spirits and bringing smiles to one's face. Wonderful done!

This is so light and springy, I could have listened to more of this subject, the picture evokes so mant feelings as do your words telling a story that beckons for more.
The picture is outstanding! The verse is a natural reflection of a flower's analogous beauty of a woman. Looks like we made it through the winter, Regis! Happy Spring to you!
