Today's prompt was to write a poem about a painter. Georgia O'Keeffe has been on my mind ever since my fellow poet Kathy shared multiple poems she wrote about Georgia and her paintings, I decided to do the same today. #the100dayproject
Georgia O’Keeffe: Tulips
She created many lips
some of petals
others of mountains,
lips that kiss and join
in a desert of colors.
The chalice
formed by two
objects that kiss
at one point
like two lips
or how petals
open wide in awe
of the sun,
but they close tight
in disappointment
when night settles
into the ground.
Tulips know dark from light
negative to positive.
Like magnets, they move
to what attracts them,
just as my lips always
find your lips,
and when we kiss,
together we are two lips.
This is such a beautiful and well crafted poem. Lovely.
