Tulips
Author’s PhotoTulips display their colors
Shortly in the Spring
But oh, how brightly they glow!
Large green leaves
In case you didn’t see them
In case you didn’t know
Some flowers need a fragrance
Others protect with thorns
The tulip stands on its own
She doesn’t last all year
She gives you just a taste
And then she lies down.
