Crocus
_____________________________________
Up through old brown crunchy leaves
Emerges a bloom of gold
Up through old brown crunchy leaves
*
Undeterred that it’s still cold
A small island of beauty
Emerges a bloom of gold
*
Petite bloom is a cutie
Nectar and pollen for bees
A small island of beauty
*
Glinting far beneath the trees
A bright harbinger of spring
Nectar and pollen for bees
*
Unwary of what spring will bring
First of many on the way
A bright harbinger of spring.
*
Petals open in the day
Up through old brown crunchy leaves
First of many on the way
Up through old brown crunchy leaves.
