yellow crocuses

Posted on April 6, 2013 by Susan L Daniels

a month later
than expected
if they were planned

this squirrel-planted surprise
threads beneath my window
in a thin, military row–

small defiant suns
shouting through frost

      Yes, but the crocuses are finally saying phooey–we’re late enough already. I love these little rodent surprises. I never plant them, but invariably a patch shows up somewhere unexpectedly on my lawn. Love it!

        That’s one of the great things about bulbs. They have a tendency to migrate. We have irises and tulips and a few others scattered around our front yard. Every year they pop up in a slightly different place.
