Finally the Forsythia by Virginia Shreve

Virginia Shreve, who once penned a catalogue devoted solely to corrugated office products, now resides in the small river town of Collinsville, Connecticut, with a husband and dogs, none well-trained, but all good-natured. For years, she wrote and edited numerous regional newsletters, much dog humor, and her poems have appeared in various journals and anthologies. She believes there can hardly be too much chocolate. Or champagne.

Sarah Russell:
I?m crazy for forsythia, and you captured it so well. What a treat!

Love the title, for starters. I long for those wild yellow blossoms to appear here in NE Wisconsin, but it'll be a bit I think. The bounteous snow is melting, so there's hope.

Every flower deserves a poem that "unlocks the ice-tethered heart". I think these words have also unlocked something.

Wow, I never realized the power of these bright yellow flowers in our neighborhood. You want to yell, "Go for it 'sythia!" Fun way to look at nature:)
