spring will persevere

I really like this haiku, mostly the last verse
I’m not sure if “all dolled up” here is your best option but it’s your poem 🙂

Thanks! I actually came back to change “dolled up” to “dressed up” because I felt that gave a better impression of the moment. There’s something almost comical about a daffodil smiling brightly in two inches of snow.

I love it! Conjured up a cute mental image!

Better 🙂
There was a lot of daffodil last week in my office, as some charity group was selling them all around the place. No hat of snow but they were still pretty. But without their roots, their beauty died fast… I thought about writing a poem about them but I forgot…

Daffodils are truly my favorite flowers ever. No daffodils in Mexico, however. Many daffodils in Oregon, from whence I come.

No daffodils in Mexico?
Irises are my favorite flower ever.
