Daffodils are my favourite flower. I love the way they bloom when it is seemingly still so cold and inhospitable. I wish you the best of luck in the contest.

Wonderful entry for the 5-7-5 Hope writing prompt.

Beautiful presentation and imagery.

Good syllables count but the connection between lines can be improved.

Good luck in the contest.

Hope for the arrival of spring is particularly desired this year as we flounder, struggling in a winter where we are overburdened by financial demands. Food costs may remain high, but at least in the spring we can reduce our heating costs. kay

Bright yellow daffodils definitely inspire hope of warmer weather ahead. I like how you incorporate the sun hovering over the daffodils. Thanks for sharing, and best wishes in the contest.

This is a beautifully stated entry to the Hope 5-7-5 contest. The text is a great size. The message doesn't directly state hope, but it is implied. The visual fits perfectly. Good luck in the contest.

Sunshine and daffodils in bloom all announce spring! Bulb flowers are my favorite. I especially liked your choice of "hovering" for the sun as it is nurturing the flowers. Best wishes in the contest!
