It is spring
But it feels
As if it is still
The dead of winter.

Glorious. Wonderful to read. Thanks for sharing. anjandev Roy.
Yet, I see some/Tulips and daffodils/In their vibrant hues/Bravely poke their way out In the lingering snow........endearing expression! An elegant piece of poetry that drags me to visit it again and again
Yet, I see some Tulips and daffodils In their vibrant hues Bravely poke their way out In the lingering snow. Winter's grasp On spring Just would not let go..........haunting and touching expression. These lines are much impressive for me. A brilliant poem on spring is nicely executed.
The earth supports different species in different clime; but the third world people are not supported by anyone.. still tulip can poke and bloom in winter! thank you!
As much as possible, an independent nation should not rely on dole outs of other nations. It should stand on its own feet. It has its own resources, human and natural. Thank you for your visit and time.
A poem with beautiful and meaningful imagery spontaneously expressed.

I enjoyed reading Lingering Snow because it touches me where I live; It's Spring but it feels like Winter. A very original poem skillfully executed.
This year is peculiar, lingering snow in spring. I loved how you mentioned: Yet, I see some Tulips and daffodils In their vibrant hues Bravely poke their way out - beautifully expressed.
Lingering snow/Deters the plants to grow/Birds nestled on their nests/And hope their eggs/Will not perish/From the winter freeze…..fabulous expression! I like the way you have described the Lingering Snow! Pleasure rereading it!
Thank you, Dr. Dillip for this great comment. Your visit is much appreciated.
This is a very strange spring so far here where I live. Fortunately we have not been buried under snow- -but it sure is difficult to go out and garden in daily howling winds! ! Thank goodness flowers are sturdier than they look!
Spring season is beautiful and we all feel this season very much. By touch of light snow melts and clear weather is very clearly visible to all of us. We see many flowers remain alive. This poem is nice and revisiting this we feel happy...
Thank you for revisiting this poem, Kumarmani. I feel honored.
A beautifully crafted poem dear Rose, you have captured the enduring nature of the spring flowers as they wove their way in the lingering winter. Well done.10
Wow this is just too wonderful, how spring signs bursts out despite winters grasp, how u painted it in words soo cleverly and marvellously poetic. I find winter exotic, so Philippines has snow, ah send some here to our hot place dear. Kudos. Pleez do write your thoughts under my newest poem too, titled, dark skinned vs fair skin, I would love to hear your views
Beautiful write! This poem captures that in-between time waiting for spring to arrive. It is said though that a late blooming flower is often the most lovely to behold.
Though the spring has come yet there is feeling of winter with its lingering snow. This theme has been so fantastically expressed in this poem. The appearance of tulips and daffodils in their vibrant hues is much chanting. A marvelous poem shared.10
This is a beautiful poem Rose! My favorite lines: Yet, I see some/Tulips and daffodils/In their vibrant hues/Bravely poke their way out/In the lingering snow. Full marks (10/10)
Lovely poem. Winter always seems to outstay it's welcome, Spring brings such hope.
