[..:: the purpletulipe ::..]

in the beautiful thriving garden
stands an elegant tulip
gently budding
in the wafts of aromatic scent

amidst bunches of sweet beauties
bees and butterflies come to play
making merry in expected fickleness
but on her petals they will stay

under the gleaming moon
she is close to complete bloom
petals jeweled with pearly dew
resembling gems in purple hue

the picture will be a wonder
when the dawn rises from down under
as the light shines through the melting glaze
she will flourish with classy grace
