Chrysanthemum
by Ellie Tang
Chrysanthemum, chrysanthemum,
chry-san-the-mum,
c-h-r-y-s-a-n-t-h-e-m-u-m.
Red, pink, yellow, and purple,
natural beauty and color.
Glowing, loving, affectionate,
petals spread like sun rays,
a sunrise refreshment in a volume,
a connection between mother and daughter.
Chrysanthemum, chrysanthemum,
chry-san-the-mum,
c-h-r-y-s-a-n-t-h-e-m-u-m.
something so light yet bitter,
a tranquil joy in the heart,
a thought…
I watch as the slow bud sinks towards the horizon.
I listen to the petals’ love in the orange bitterness of appreciation. I feel the warmth of the evening sun glowing past my shoulders. I sniff the warm fizz of tranquility and peace, oozing through my veins. And to take a sip;
A taste easing me into my mother’s arms.
Chrysanthemum, chrysanthemum,
chry-san-the-mum,
c-h-r-y-s-a-n-t-h-e-m-u-m.
Frosted, white, covered, and frigid
tucked in snow and cold.
Shimmering, twinkling, adoring,
Buds peaceful like an elder,
a sunset glass that was once full,
a memory that has once been told.
Chrysanthemum, chrysanthemum,
chry-san-the-mum,
c-h-r-y-s-a-n-t-h-e-m-u-m.
something so bright yet vague,
a rebirth to be awaited in tempo,
a memory.

Hi Tenexch, I really enjoyed this article because it is simple, informative, and interesting.
Great insights in this piece! Speaking of timeless craftsmanship, Ami Paris has really carved a niche in modern French fashion by blending minimalism with bold design choices. Their attention to detail in every collection reflects the same dedication to quality discussed here.
I think the most interesting part of DM First is how differently people can experience the same gameplay. Everyone has their own way of understanding the rules and making decisions, which makes the discussions around it quite interesting.
This article gives a clear overview of the topic while also including some helpful details.
