Like the Daffodil

Colleen Keller Breuning reflects on the beauty of spring as her daffodils bloom and her garden flourishes after 13 years of effort. She finds joy in nature’s resilience, likening it to human experiences of perseverance and warmth. Colleen hopes others also find beauty this spring season.

A Wish for April

The poem “A Wish for April” vividly depicts the longing for spring’s magic and warmth. The author whimsically describes the dancing of faeries under the moon and expresses a desire for April to bring an end to the dreary, cold weather of March. The sonnet beautifully captures the anticipation of the new season.
