Fearless flower for M'lady Emma.

sonnet

Fearless Flower.

 

Arriving unexpectedly.

The first snowdrop of the spring

 succeeds in surprising me.

It’s such a pretty little thing..

Mother Nature calls the tune

She knows a great deal more than me

If she decides it’s not too soon.

Only a fool would disagree.

One single snowdrop I suppose.

Signals the approach of spring.

Blossoming amidst the snows.

Defies the wrath of winters king.

With Mother Nature on her side.

 She claims first place in modest pride.

How beautiful, and oh so brave the first bud is to the harsh snow. Mother nature has a way of making wonders, and you have a way of expressing them with such effortless words. Beautiful poem.
