Context for Today’s Poem, “Golden Lamp”

Neighborhood Forsythia on April Fools’ Day
Neighborhood Forsythia Yesterday–Squint and You Can See Snow!

Each year, I am entranced by this display of forsythia in a garden two blocks from my house. The color is startling and brilliant, and, unlike, is complement, the blue and white scilla that carpets our city, it is boldly upright.

Yesterday, I got to see it behind a haze of spring snow–a true emblem of our weather this April.

Happy Easter!
