The daffodils are always eager to parade their golden skirts and announce spring is here, they are a delight and you brought the scene here Debra, love Dolly x

That's a good question. I am guessing, but I'd say no, not needed, final answer. lol there are no capitals at the beginning of lines so that already breaks the format with Capitals, let me know if there are any other answers? but I can say definitely good imagery and sad but true, premature.

Fabulous! Brilliant from top to tail--witty title--clever wordplay: trumpets herald--premature fanfare. Many will be relieved to see this is not a contest entry!

It is always a bit of a drag when a wee bit of frost gets stuck in one's trumpet. This is a fine haiku, Debra and just right to bring a little sprightly spring into our step.

A most enjoyable read today. :))

Debra,

No matter, springtime will soon be here!

Yes, the snow and cold weather can really put the kibosh on the early arrival of those buttercups. But your verse gives us hope that Spring can bring us new life.

Nice photo and good addition to the collection.

Mark

A Frosty Reception
by Debra White

Hello, Debra,

Excellent Late Winter Haiku for our club event. Beautiful entry with great imagery and presentation. Good syllable count and connection between lines. I like the satori, it's clever... the trumpet flower also means a musical instrument to welcome spring.... well done!!!

Your haiku is descriptive and well-presented, Debra. The image is perfect. Great job with the style of haiku. I believe the word 'spring' could be either upper or lower case. To me, it is fine as written--naming a season, but not using it as a name, although that is possible in writing. Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan
