Spring blossoms and crocuses
live briefly and pass quickly...
teaching us life lessons in
mute exhortation...

Minding as we step,
counting crocuses we walk,
taking snowdrop stops,
sharing with the afternoon,
joys of two boys now it's spring....

The weather turns white
A sign of Spring, blossoming 
Crocuses in Snow

In the hoping of a dream,
of the February rising violet crocuses,
that shattered from significant sorrow-
as you became an ageless traveler,
of the deeply welcoming ambient universe....

crocuses 
          withstand March winds
dressed
         in snowflakes-
                         shivering

Autumn leaves
in the color of the sun
feed the Earth

Branches bare and gaunt
decorate the sky...
life in disguise

The crow descends
and observes
humanity in winter

Spring whispers;
crocuses stir
and meet the sun...

Spring
colourful, fresh
awakening, burgeoning, bursting
crocuses, daffodils, bluebells, blossom
mowing, rolling, planting
heatwave, drought
summer

as if agreeing

   lilacs bob their heads in breeze

      ....crocuses amused


warming their faces

    tulips look towards the sun....

        just happy to be


delightfully vain

    partiers in spring dresses

       .... flowers in full bloom...

a gentle rain falls 
newly budding trees 
new grasses appear 
pink crocuses up 
warmer weather now. 

shedding sweaters 
sandals appear 
time for new lambs 
a quick road trip. 

stow away 
galoshes 
and mittens. 

enjoy
welcome 

SPRING!

Crocuses in bloom 
By Michelle Morris
25/02/2021

Crocuses in bloom bless the landscape - 
Purples, blues and whites scattered around to their heart's delight;
Trumpeting spring with colourful silence, 
Embracing the sun's rays and reflecting nature's perfection...

Sunny today
but Oh what a chill

The wind inhales and exhales
the trees bend on the hill

Winnie the Poohs Blustery Day
just cannot compete

In like a lion and out like a lamb
I am so tired of paying for heat

I long for crocuses, tulips and green
it seems like ages since they have been seen...

Spring

spectacular, resplendent

breathtaking, surprising, striking

daffodils, crocuses, hydrangeas, daisies

sweltering, stupefying, relaxing

magnificent, sensational

Summer

Take time to linger,
at the sweet cherry blossom, 
at the fresh rosebuds, 
green leaves sprouting, 
daffodils in full bloom.

Crocuses opening their mouths wide,
just like the frogs on the lily pads.

Purples, yellows spring forth amongst the -
withering white of snowdrops. 

And simply just breathe,
just breathe....

careful observation required

Spring belied its name
used to jump out 
around the side of my cottage
with yellow crocuses, 
made by sun for sure,
and white snow drops
their drooping blooms
peek from leafy blankets.
this year I caught it. 
its very beginning
slowed by arctic lips
blowing cold kisses
whistling up frigid winds....

COME OH SPRING

Oh Spring
Please, please come soon
To loosen winter’s grip
And bring us hope of life anew.
With crocuses and yellow daffodils
And multi-coloured tulips too.
New leaves upon the trees.
Bees awaking
Oh Spring

Refreshing time is spring time 
To see new growth appear
Amazing colours take my breath
Sweet spring time is finally here.

To see the mass of snowdrops
A carpet white like snow
The daffodils and crocuses
The colours seem to glow.

The beauty of this season
Is more than words can say
Just sitting in my garden
On a gorgeous spring time day....

rhythmic staccato
interrupts the morning calm
pileated drums

red crest, pointed beak
penetrate the slumbered fog
now the forest hums

crocuses burst forth
joyfully joining the dance
a welcome spring comes

Rain be gone, 
I'm done with you.
Bring on spring,
Earth starts anew.

Flowers bloom,
Wild birds sing.
I'm through with winter,
Bring on spring.

Daffodils, crocuses,
Lilacs too,
Frost replaced
By morning dew.

Breathe fresh air
In sunshine bright.
Raise your face
To bright sunlight.

Happiness shines
With the sun.
Winter be gone, 
You are done....

Arrives,
spring in green hues.
Buds and blooms opening.
The crocuses are in full bloom,
violet and pink amid slender leaves.
Bees rally round and songbirds chirp,
flying from tree to tree.
Season of cheer,
Arrives!

You're wearing a  Sombrero
though you're not on holiday
Do your children wash
behind their ears?
An aladdin's  cave is awaiting you
Its down Croydon
with a topical Sunday Market

The Autumn crocuses 
hypnotize you like unwritten sentences
We fled in grief
drawn to dark stained sands
Why not scorn the passing centuries
with the spat mouth of roots and berries...
