Jailbreak
by Maya Spector
It’s time to break out —
Jailbreak time.
Time to punch our way out of
the dark winter prison.
Lilacs are doing it
in sudden explosions of soft purple,
And the jasmine vines, and ranunculus, too.
There is no jailer powerful enough
to hold Spring contained.
Let that be a lesson.
Stop holding back the blossoming!
Here's the rest of the poem.

I like this poem, but I was surprised by the absence of daffodils. You should write your own jailbreak poem featuring daffodils bursting from the snowy frozen ground in a race to be first.
Thanks for posting this poem.
