First Crocus

  



早朝や 初クロッカスに 初明かり





early morning -
the first sunray on
my first yellow crocus





Almost like a tiny heavenly candle
lit on the brown earth,
showing the way to spring ...

A very nice haiku, Gabi.
It certainly brightened my day!

In my city neighborhood, I live in an end unit of attached row houses. Each unit has a little space for a 'pocket' garden in front, about ten feet by ten feet. Some people fill the space to overflowing with a lovely profusion of plants.

Others make a garden of three prim
and orderly rows of marigolds, followed-up by three prim and orderly rows of petunias, with plenty of bare dirt-desert in-between.

And others, not wanting to be bothered with weeding and watering, have cemented-over the space, turning yet more of the earth into a 'concrete jungle'.

the neighbor's garden
cemented-over: sunlit
where the crocus was

My Brussels flat is out of reach of the sun all winter. Then, every
February, there comes a day when, suddenly, the sunshine is back, and lights up my sitting room just before I leave for work in the
morning.
This year, that day was today. Winter is over!

first sunshine
across the roofs --
my vase sparkles


No crocuses here -- but a bunch of red tulips to enjoy.

I like this haiku.

I have a small container garden with a Cecil Brunner rose bush in a bg pot with trellis, gardenia, lavender, lemon balm and a little catus someone abandoned. My little garden like these small poems are precious to me.
