Bertie worries about the primroses


Nature's Tricks

I thought I'd wear my tartan scarf,
To brighten up the winter gloom.
How unexpected then, to see,
For colour, I had company,
A clutch of precious yellow blooms.

Insistently proclaiming spring,
Our primroses are all confused.
For surely we shall soon have snow.
What then for such a pretty show?
Nature can be so hard and cruel.


We're thrilled to be taking part in Rosy and the LLB Gang's Nature Friday blog hop. Why not jump aboard!

  5. How amazing to see flowers this time of year. We loved your poem and hope you don't get any snow to knock them down.

  7. Dear Bertie,

    That is happening here too! The flowers are coming out, but there might still be snow. But maybe not. But our snowdrops and crocuses actually don't seem to mind snow or frost. We do not have primroses. Do primroses like the snow and frost? We love your poem!

    Licks,
