A Vase of Purple Tulips

A vase of purple tulips Gives your outlook quite a boost. It chases off the gloomy thoughts That seek a place to roost. You needn’t pay an arm or leg To purchase such a bunch; But purple is the way to go – It packs a potent punch. I’m feeling kind of off this week And sick is not my style; But looking at those purple tulips Causes me to smile.

a lovely sentiment. I like " a place to roost" great line. tulips must be your favorite flower - I don't have one, but I do like bright colors. they really do pack a punch!

Makes me smile, too, the imagery of it. Somehow, I imagine them in a blue vase -- maybe because that's where I put my flowers. Lovely poem. I wish I could rhyme. BTW, thanks for commenting on "Meditation."
