First Crocuses
By Don Iannone

First crocuses
...about to bloom
......sit and wait
.........for they know their time.

First crocuses
....test spring's water
......thin green fingers
.........reach toward blue sky.

First crocuses
...in no hurry
......watch robins race
..........and redbirds fly.

First crocuses
...listen for Beethoven
......then they know it's time
..........to give life a try.
