The Garden

By: Serena Tu

The blue hydrangea

lay wilted and dry

without months of care

The once vibrant blue-gradient petals

now with brown tips

and distorted dirty blue color

The water droplets

from the morning dew

settled on the sagged flower

the clear reflection

creating a miniature rainbow

beside the flower

with the colors evenly spread

across the humid sky

Farther down the rows

tulips

neglected and downcast

red turning into hues of dark brown

yellow turning into shades of gray and white

blue turning to black

Once so cared for

but now ignored

once so happy

now with no emotion

but sorrow
