Some years ago these municipal crocuses were planted in serried ranks. They have broken free. Passing them today I noticed a single daffodil flowering. It brought on a haiku
Just one daffodil
in a crocus plantation

North Berwick Happiness
A day out, a sandy beach, blue sky,
seaweed, sea glass, shells and wispy cloud,
the sounds of the waves and the seagulls’ cry.
