Daffodils in Porcelain Jug

Oil painting of many yellow daffodils in a blue and white porcelain jug.

Lit up by electrical power.
In a jug they were placed
With stems interlaced,
And it took me a couple of hours.

Onion

Who was pulled from his home underground;
Afeared of a fate
On the gastronome's plate,
He hitchhiked his way out of town.
