Late winter -
a crocus breaks through
the melting snow.

Link with 939: Breaking through snow.

[The crocus, a harbinger of the Winter's demise, also announces Spring's coming.]

Crocuses are such a natural inspiration for haiku! You've done a good job on this one.

Ours are much more fortunate, no snow, they come out just like that...!:)

A tough little guy, or gal. Can't hold back that which is meant to be.

the crocuses here don't have to struggle through snow this year...

Aurora: Thank you!

Pamela: Yes, although they aren't as common around here (that I know of). :-)

Floots: I'd love to be there to see that (like cherry blossoms in Nihon).

John: Thanks.

Borut: They're just sissy's this year.

Pat: Ah, so true.

Polona: As Borut mentioned...they got off easy this year. :-)
