Analysis of little Tulip



Sigh, so cold around me brrrrr,
struggling to survive the cold
soon though I feel it warming
wanting to feel more of the warmth

I push up and up towards the heat
soon I feel the source of the heat upon me
I stretch up towards it slowly
moving takiing small steps up

stretching out letting more of it hit me
my head slowly rising up to the sun
opening wide as I slowly lift my head
the sun so bright upon me

My head lifting up to the sky
turning to face the sun so warm
opening slowly to catch the sun
bright My color is to the eye

Being so bright only begins to fade
my head once so colorful
now faded and droppy petals fall
Tulips only a short time on earth.
