Book number 26, Snowdrops

Current bid for this book stands at £20
Snowdrops is a simple 10-page book which has my lovely friend Clare's snowdrop print on the front and my poem inside, hand printed.
The book measures 19 x 19cm.

 Here is the front cover of the book with the lovely print.

 This picture shows one of the inside pages and the printing.

Here is the poem - 

Fragile, tender tendrils of green

peeping out of the earth.

Small, almost insignificant 

bulbs of white

barely supported

by slender green stalks.

Yet these tiny white flowers

make a huge announcement,

a proclamation

that Spring is on its way.

The cycle of nature is turning,

the time of hibernation,

of huddling by a warm fire

reluctant to go out

will soon be over.

Delicate drops of white

scattered among decaying leaves

and brown earth,

defying frost and snow

and all the weight of weather

nature has to outpour,

herald a time

of warmth,

longer days,

sunshine.

And make my heart sing.
