a camellia grows

spring may have finally arrived...do you wanna bet?

up through a crack in the suntanned cement

a white flower sprouts,

its petals are bent.

attracting a hummingbird, stopping to sip…

but not one robin to announce

and identify the

dawning of spring

blooming late.

I love it Dan!! Just beautiful....love the humming birds; the visual was there! Sweet. I just saw a Robin: got a worm too, Woohoo! Great work and your grammar is great too. Seriously love it. Thanks - Dale

Yeah, that grammar comment was just an attempt at satire after a serious write. You know, I've actually never seen a hummingbird in my life, and I did just see my first spring robin a few days ago. I wonder where they go in the winter. Bermuda? Anyway, thank you for your kind review, Dale. Always nice to hear from you. take care...dan
