Neptune Rising

The air perfumed with soggy hope Once more my thoughts turn to you That fine spring day we did elope Neptune blushed a vivid blue Releasing tulips, away we flew © All Rights Reserved 02/04/12 10:51am For: English Quintain a Spring Day Contest

The tulips make this spring poem. I love the use of mythology also - gives mystery. LOve, daver

A rush of hope for the dream that would come true. Love the elope part, does away with so much fuss and gets the job done! Sweet verse Jimbo! :)
