I saw my first
Crocus today.
Thought it an illusion,
As I drove away.
Small and graceful,
They sway in the wind.
Subtle and beautiful,
I looked and grinned.
Home at last,
I glance around.
In my yard to see,
All that are found.
Rise me up,
From winters gloom
Crocuses do your thing-
Bloom

Why is it called Crocus if it is the first thing alive in Spring? shouldn't they be called Resurrection?
ah, spring sure feels good doesnt it...nice 55. mine is up!
Always the first sign [and hope] of warmer days ahead!!! Love the rhythm of your 55.
This is my 55 this week!
[if you decide to stop by, scroll down below my Show n tell, as always, to find my FF55]
Have a glorious weekend.
Your 55 could not have come at a better time with Spring having finally arrived. I loved the way you took something simple crocuses and came up with beautiful poetry like that.
Have a great weekend!
Another good one.
Tried myself to do a 55,.. but one two many words. I gave up!
Not easy, not easy!
I love the arrival of spring (except for the hayfever that comes with it.) Though of course, we've just entered autumn down here...
All the years I lived in a cold climate I searched for these lovely flowers starting in late February. The are the first hopeful sign of warm weather and when they're seen everyone gets excited.

You've painted the lovely crocus so I could see it. They would make me smile too. But not today. It's snowing!
Thanks for visiting my blog and my 55. I like yours. The bottle and all!
Oh, Spring, come to us quickly! Wish I had the crocus in the yard--only dandelions here. But who cares, I love them anyway! D
Nothing like the colors of spring!
Great 55ve!
Love it!!
Your poetry is always great, I think I may sit down this weekend and see if I can't come up with a poem, I haven't written one in ages, but you are inspiring me today!
wonderful tribute to spring...well done...it brought a smile to my face;)
That is so uplifting and perfect for a Friday!
Spring is in the air. a warm Friday thought!
Indeed. Down here things have been popping up for quite a while now. But the only ones I can identify are the daffodils, and they're mostly gone.
As cute and sweet as the little purple flowers.
Nice poem. Here's my rather gory tale
I could sure use some of those blooming crocuses around here. Instead, I get two kids down with colds.
I love spring flowers!
VL...
I love Spring as well as your refreashing 55!!
I just love the positive vibes of renewal.
Thank you for playing today, and have a Kick Ass week-End...G
Wow - kinda like twitter, you only have so many words! lol
Love Spring!!!
Ah spring...Ah choo!
Only kidding. I love it when the crocus begins to bloom as it is a sure sign that spring is truly around the corner! Very nice! I'm glad you directed me here!
Spring came alive, with these flowers and these words of yours.
Thanks for the lovely reminder, today...
Oh, those crocuses are worth every word, aren't they?
Don't you just love these early harbingers of spring? Nice 55.
I’m up here.
Awesome! Great story and a beautiful picture!
Here via SITS to enjoy the beginning of Spring with you!
Finally!!! Spring needs to come fast.
What a beautiful Spring scene in a cute poem!

A very nice post :)
I don't think we get these in Albuquerque. My springtime poem would have a lot less to do with flowers and a lot more about allergies. Ugh!!!

Nice!
And I'm amused that a flower is called a crocus.
I am almost afraid to believe spring is hear. I think Mother Nature is just playing with us!
