The signs of Spring--a kyrielle
Does This Suggest? by RodG
Write a Kyrielle writing prompt entry

Surrounded by a thin-leafed crown,
a purple crocus did appear
on fringe of lawn still wintry-brown.
Does this suggest that Spring is near?

Around the garden barren still
two robins hop with jaunty cheer
and grab at worms unearthed with skill.
Does this suggest that Spring is near?

Forsythia and willows, too,
turn yellow soon this time of year;
ground cover's got a greenish hue.
Does this suggest that Spring is near?

Lamentably here come the weeds.
That's Creeping Charlie I do fear
and dandelions launch silk seeds.
Does this suggest that Spring is here?
