Inspired by Tulip
 

Rosie Hamilton

 

Art deco swirls of piercing red,
Psychedelic yellow
Hornet stripe black

 

The piercing red like a lip of a child
Plump with fresh blood, burst
A drop on a white napkin

 

Psychedelic yellow like a florescent sun
Soaked in caramel
Dipped in honey

 

The Hornet stripe black
A jet cloud across Jupiter
A spot of black paint

 

 

Rosie was a commended Foyle Young Poet in 2007.
