Little Pots Of Hyacinth

entry picture

Little pots of hyacinth
a symbol of nearing Spring
Tall stems of star like flowers
a heady, sweet scent they bring

They come in many colours
dusky pink to cobalt blue
White, cream, yellow, apricot
every shade of purple hue

Little pots of hyacinth
vibrant against cloudy grey
Sitting on my window sill
brighten up this Winter day

My sister over in Brussels would certainly enjoy this and identify with
its sentiment. She''s just mentioned her balcony plants bravely
ensuring colour in the present -10c temperature there.

Thanks Aviva and D Joshi.

Maybe I should have done a before and after the sun came out. I am sure I will be able to take a photo with a cloudy grey backdrop soon.

And then the sun came out, but sunshine doesn’t rhyme with grey day. ?
