Really Spring

Spring came to our yard a while ago,
Proposed by daffodils, seconded by hyacinths,
But today I opened the door to sudden tulips,
Boisterous, red, and callously cheerful,
Saying, “Spring is here. Deal with it.”

    Like the way your word choices (sudden, boisterous, and callously) add a dynamic energy to this piece :-)
