Poem: Tulips #the100dayproject Day 33...67 more to go

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.
