Today's Poem at IsleWrite.com


cry of the crocus

in purple white pink and yellow
the crocus announces spring's
arrival peeking above the bare
garden ground loudly inviting

the welcomed change like a
visual telegram reminding us
that cold and insensitive time
is waning happily 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 and stiff lipped
months gone now 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
