As spring blooms into action, you may be feeling a hint of hope with the sun rising, blue skies shining and daffodils smiling as they dance in the breeze.
With the world gently awakening from its slumber, a quiet sense of expectation may be rising in your bones as new beginnings knock on your door of life.
Whether you are just waking up from winter or already have a full-blown spring in your step, I hope these poems about spring infuse you with that sunshine-yellow feeling that lovingly fills us all.
And may the secret seeds and dreams that you have planted, sprout, blossom, and bloom into your experience this season.

4. Plastic Mackintosh - Jadine Lydia
The yellow coat, she wore. A plastic mackintosh, varnished with the smell of spring, a daffodil in disguise. She dipped in and out of the crowds, spreading her happy go lucky light, in the free-spirited way, in which one gives, one loves, and one simply does. Because it’s the only way. She flitted in and out, like a bumblebee, harvesting her sweet nectar. She picked up, dropped off, and revelled in the madness, of an ever-changing world. A world in which we bounce, reflect and retract, in a flurry of potent pollen, convulsions of effervescent energy. A world where we can choose, to reflect, retract or restore, the sun rays beneath the surface, of every inquisitive interaction. The yellow within us all.
