a lotus flower
floats on tranquil waters ~
spring's welcome

a daffodil
turns to the sun ~
her own reflection

a primrose blossom
clusters with her kind ~
mid-spring jewels

a sprig of lilac
rests on the grass ~
spring's kiss

lilies of the valley
dangle from their stem ~
fairy skirts

a peony
rises from the dust ~
lace ruffles

a lotus flower
floats on tranquil waters ~
spring's farewell
