Spring Tulips
open their
cups to catch
yellow sun
Splash of water
Life - giving air
Their V - skirts
flutter in the wind
Yellow, orange,
red tulips
dance in
spring breezes
Colored cups
close up
tightly
at night
I would love to see tulips again, but I have not seen them here in the Houston area. Perhaps it's the soil, or perhaps it's the fact that we don't get freezing weather. I remember them popping up in a couple of places on my property in West Virginia, planted long ago by somebody who liked them as well as I did. That I left there after only three years.

Tulips are certainly harbingers of spring.
