Hyacinths
The hyacinths are from an indoor planter that we bought at a store one winter. Karl planted them in the garden after they had flowered. As you can see, they returned and bloom anew.
More Primroses
primroses growing
from garden to lawn
deep decades of roots
strengthen my faith
for new dreams

opening the door
to shake the dust
off the mop
first primroses
(Cara Holman included a link back to an earlier post with this poem, as a part of her Poem in Your Pocket Day Celebration, April 26, 2012. Cara’s site is Prose Posies.)
rich colors
of primroses
were those
their prayers
I overhead?
