Summer is still to come
yet daffodils are in flower
amongst the sand dunes
where old bulbs have been dumped.
It's not officially Spring yet either
but it's warm and the days are
blue skyed and sun tinted.
Bare footed, I dance through winter.
De, at dverse poets, has prompted us to pen a 44 word quadrille which must include the word 'summer'.
Here is the link: Summer
I simply LOVE the visual image you've painted with these words!

Thanks, De and thanks for the lovely prompt!
DeleteOh how nice to see daffodils in the sand dunes, sounds wonderful. Beautiful imagery,
ReplyDeleteWe get all kinds of flowers springing up in our sand dunes. People just dump their garden rubbish there, even though they are not supposed to. It can be rather pretty.
Delete"blue skyed and sun tinted." Luv this image.
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by my blog to read mi e
much♡love
Thanks, Gillena! :D
DeleteI’ve never seen daffodils in sand dunes, Carol, what a lovely image!
ReplyDeleteWhere I live we have protected sand dunes which have grasses growing and other shrubbery, to help hold the dunes together. They stretch for miles and often folk will put their garden waste on the dunes. Hence the daffodils etc that spring up all by themselves! ;D
DeleteYour last line is my favorite. It has wings!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Susan!
DeleteDancing barefoot through winter is the mark of a woman sustained by her own inner fire! Is that you, Gillena?
ReplyDeleteLovely images to wrap myself in, in intermediate weather today (although I have bright yellow trousers on)!
