First I’d like to thank you most kindly for leaving such nice comments on last week’s post (and always!). I’m very busy these days and can’t answer back but I’m sure you know that it’s greatly appreciated. 🙂 It’s Monday again and this time I’m in a rather poetic mood. Whereas the poet’s daffodils (Narcissus poeticus) in my garden have almost finished flowering, the wild things in our woods are just lifting their delicate, little heads. I think another week or two and the air will be filled with delicous perfume and I’ll be back to worship them. And they deserve to be worshipped because they are a poet’s dream! Thanks to Cathy for hosting the Vase on a Monday – make sure you visit her blog for plenty of flower power and inspiration. Have a great week!
Narcissus
How pale
Thy moonlit face
Ghost-like
Shimmering like a 1000 stars
How red
Thy lips
Scarlet-red
Longing to be kissed.
A kiss – such bliss!
Lovely words befitting your lovely flowers. Have a good week Annette.
Apt words and apt images, Annette; what a lovely way to start the week. Thank you for sharing. I do hope your hectic life is not getting you down and you still have time to enjoy the pleasures of your own garden and the company of Monsieur
I’m on to something new and with spring and the garden – well, you know yourself the days are never long enough but enjoyment is on my list too, thanks, Cathy
You are most welcome of course – and another new projct, how exciting!
Wonderful words. Wonderful photos. Thank you.
Lovely words. This is a delightful Narcissus, always one of the last to bloom in my garden. And one I would never be without, delicate and fragrant.
This narcissus is one of my favourites.
We both are adoring daffs this week although mine are yellow…fabulous poem too!
don’t know about fabulous, Donna, but it gave me pleasure to write it 🙂
Just wonderful, Annette!
That’s a lovely testimonial to a beautiful flower, Annette!
Are they in your woods? Beautiful.
they are and they cover a huge surface, just awesome
I must plant some of these beauties Annette. Hope that you have a good week and that you manage to find some time for just gazing at flowers.
Beautiful Annette
Sehr schön. Gedicht wie Fotos von den wunderbaren Narzissen.

Stunning photos Annette as always. And Great choice of flower,
so funny, we’ve just visited each other at the same time – morphic field perhaps? thanks for the nice words 🙂
Must be!
A beautiful vase full of delicate flowers …
Liebe Annette – wow – seufz.
Wie schön, dass Du hier Deine Bilder zeigst!
So inspirierend – wenn auch unerreichbar!
