13/31 SOLC

Tulips

The green stalk
peering above the ground
as if it's
playing peek-a-boo.

My soul yearns for the coldness to end.
The stalks leave me waiting
for the sun to warm my pale cheeks.

The flower stalk
G
    R
       O
           W
               S            and
                                                G
                                                    R
                                                        O
                                                            W
                                                                 S.

Revealing a bloom that's as red as blood.
the tender shoot turns
it's happy face to the sun.
Spring has arrived.

  2. My tulips are pushing their way up and out of the ground. Your poem made me visualize them as I read your words. Love the movement of the letters in growing.
