Emagi Plaths Tulips

The tulips are too excitable, it is winter here. The tulips are too red in the first place, they hurt me. I didn’t want any flowers, I only wanted To lie with my hands turned up and be utterly empty. —Sylvia Plath (Tulips) 1:1, 6:1 & 5:2 **************************************** ************************************* ******************************** **************************** ************************ ******************** ***************** * * X X X X X * X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X ~ X X X X X \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ TOO ////////////////// \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ RED ////////////////// XXXXX\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ //////////////////XXXXX XXXXX\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ //////////////////XXXXX —————————- ———————-

Sylvia Plath.... the great poetess, submerged in grief couldn't admire the beauty of tulips. They only enhanced her pain. Very creative, dear Kim. All the Best

Ahh, this is so heartfelt and palpable, when everything too beautiful doesn't mesmerise the heart, because the soul is already sinking in pain.. Wonderfully this is~
