Cry of the Crocus



In deep purple white yellow and
mauve the crocus announces
spring arriving with a peek above
the bare garden ground quietly

inviting the welcomed change
like a visual telegram reminding
us that cold and insensitive time
are waning happily then blossoms

burst into view like nature�s
jack in the box surprise popping
up technicolor petals delicately
leafed in mortal fragility exposing

their floral vulnerabilities after
shades of gray days in black and
white frozen nights inside stiff
lipped months gone temporarily

making way for the enticing
passions of summer air we forget
in winter before the crocus cries
like a love song for the season
