Yellow flowers teasing
Blossoms shining in the sun
Tonight they shiver
Returning cold weather chills
Springtime buds will wait awhile

Frank Tassone’s Haiku challenge this week talks about the return of cold weather after our nice warm spell that touched us last week.

We’re wishing for spring but I feel we will be waiting a while longer, unfortunately. Nice take on the prompt.

I had to chuckle…you have the daffodils I alluded to in my piece…but wherever we are your poem reveals spring temperatures can tease out the buds and then zap them with cold…an exciting time 🙂

At least the yellow adds some cheer to the situation
. I’m still seeing mostly brown. Nice work.
