Tainted Spring
The color of a rose,
My heart knows
Red as velvet
Tinged with regret—
A rush of blood to the head
Says "I love you…" til it's dead.

Sweet white daisies
Dancing like crazy
Free in the breeze
Under the trees—
Petals flutter off one by one
Reflections of a fading sun.

Tulips stand tall
Rainbow skyfall
Streaks and stripes
Sending Dutch vibes—
Under painted glory, broken eggs
Empty shells, a party's dregs.


18 lines, 73 words… too much rhyme to be free verse.

Prompt: use the words Roses, Daisies and Tulips.

  What are friends? Someone to lend a hand when we find ourselves in quicksand, shout with glee when we cross the finish lines, even if in last place, whisper a candid review when we enter the room with a run of toilet paper stuck to the heel of our shoe. In short, someone like you!
