just that daffodil
against a sun-bleached wooden fence
and all shall be well

It’s unusual for you to add s photo, Tom, but I’m pleased that you did here. The picture adds something: without it I would have imagined the daffodil in flower – subtlely yet importantly different. And without the poem the picture would have conveyed something very different. Interesting how the two complement and expand on each other.
