Untitled Poem

written by Tiera Taylor

---

The tulips,

Of the most spectacular,

Flattened outgrowth from the stem of a vascular plant,

The season when the duration of daylight becomes noticeably shorter,

Orange, red, yellow and brown,

Moving air,

Picking up leaves,

Livelyness,

But even so,

Wilting,

The coldest season of the year,

Called the "deceptive killers",

freezing temperatures,

White, blue, purple, brown,

Stale air,

Stillness.
