Amarylis

Amarylis

Dead of winter
Signs of life
Hearing from neighbors
Gave amarylis bulbs
As holiday gifts
Watching them grow
Through the gloom
Ambient light
Low and slow
Spikes raised
Then bursting blossoms
Range of hues
Traditional red
Going out of my head
Over you and you
Also mostly white
More like Easter lily
With pink accents
Getting e mails
Sharing the news
Bringing us together
Friends of amaryllis
Solidarity forever
Brotherhood of blooms
When something so
Fresh and beautiful
Deep in February
As Persephone sleeps
Fair wife of Hades
Yearing to rejoin Flora
Entering March madness
With dreams of Spring
