Another response to a writeclub prompt by yours truly
cheers to Gary @ Writeclub for providing it
The bulbs had sleeping all Winter
waiting for a small hint of Spring
they’d been waiting for the soil to warm up
and thinking of the colour they’d bring
So imagine then, to their surprise
when out of the ground they did rise
and the flowerheads dropped so see ground below
greeted by arrival of flakes of snow
Grass under snow, had decided to hide
away from the cold underneath inside
under the snow, set like a brick
layered on the ground , two inches thick
But the flowers awoke, their growing begun
and headed their petals up towards the sun
breaking their way out of the snow
and providing some colour as they continued to grow
So while on the ground its frosty and white
colours abound from morning and night
and while all the kids play in snow, frost and ice
they look at the tulips – and think they’re quite nice
