Notes About The Poem

First Spring Visitor

Something was different this morning
I'd gone to bed chilled,
reached for another blanket
knowing I'd have to defrost with coffee
before bracing for the north wind.

But sunlight peeked at me
through my kitchen window.
Too tempting not to open the door
and say, "Good morning."

There it was—
the first crocus greeting me
as if it was her calling card.
I felt the warmth of sunshine
on my face
and grinned knowing Spring
didn't forget to visit.

Duke Beaufort May 27, 2025 at 2:58 PM Lin, she's here in full force now, but aren't the first signs wonderful? This recent look back shows how far we've come in just a short time. This says to me to look around and take in the signs. They might be telling me something. In this case, it's all good. Smiles! Lin Lane May 27, 2025 at 4:11 PM I think we skipped Spring. It's been near 90 for days here. Thanks, Duke.

Jan Allison May 26, 2025 at 12:31 PM aww Lin this is a little gem, I love to see the first flowers of spring and even more so if we have had snow and there is a tiny ray of colour against the stark white. hugs Jan xx Lin Lane May 27, 2025 at 4:11 PM I had these in my garden in Colorado and always thought of them as little miracles when they first bravely fought their way through the snow and ice. Thanks!
