Daffodils smile,
dance awhile,
giggle when tickled by the breeze,
tease,
they bask in light,
their faces bright,
listen to the robins sing,
melodies of spring,
flowery laughs join birdsong,
a sing-a-along
till day is gone, all unspun,
the moon rises with a hum
This is for dVerse . The Quadrille Monday prompt from De Jackson (aka WhimsyGizmo) is “giggle.” (Doesn’t the word giggle make you giggle?) This photo is from a few years ago. Our daffodils haven’t bloomed yet, but they are starting to come up. They make me happy. A quadrille is a poem of 44 words; it is also a dance.
Yesterday and today: Merril's historical musings 
Ah! More than a giggle, that humming moon makes me laugh out loud!
Thanks, Jane. I thought you’d like that. (I’m glad you did.) 🙂
If the daughter who started all this off before she was two years old was a writerly type I’d ask her to write what she remembers of where the moon sleeps and what she sings.
I’m doing a happy dance reading this. My favorite line: ” . . . giggle when tickled by the breeze.) Genius!
Thanks so much, Marian.
Daffodils look like they giggle, and that makes me happy.
Oh, how I love those flowery laughs, and that moon’s hum. This is a dose of joy with my coffee this morning. Thank you!
Thank you so much. I’m glad I helped make your morning joyful!
I think we all could use a bit of whimsy.
I agree, Ken.
Perfection!
