Tulip Festival, Part 4

The Yellow Tulip - a poem by George Swede

For weeks
it struggled
through the hard crust
of the spring earth
and a foot
of air

Just to be
scorched
by the sun
jolted
by raindrops
blasted
by the wind

But on this gentle
May morning
as it opens
yellow petals
to the sky
Nothing else matters

See, the tulips in the background aren't open yet.
