In the Tulip Garden
Seemingly at the same time,
the cherry trees
let go of their treasure,
creating a spring shower
of falling flowers
that floated lazily
past our delighted faces
before they alighted on the ground,
changing the color of the earth to pink.
Some blossoms chose to nestle
in the heart of a deep red tulip
whose nearly spent petals,
like an open hand,
offered refuge.
Nanci Woody wrote the novel, Tears and Trombones, and the accompanying pilot for a streaming series.
Her short stories and poetry have been published in The California Writers Club Literary Review, a CWC Anthology, the October Hill Magazine, The Fault Zone, the Sacramento Poetry Society’s Tule Review, Your Daily Poem, The Monterey Poetry Review, and the Haight Ashbury Literary Journal.
Nanci is also a photographer and an artist. Her photo, “Supermoon,” won the Juror’s Award at the CA State Fair and the Curator’s Award at the KVIE Annual Art Auction.
