Glorious Blossom

T	hey yawn in spring’s rain beneath the soaked earth 
U	nending green shoots peek, as to feel soft breeze
L	oving the taste and feel of priceless, liquid gold
I	nstant relief for thirsty bulbs that
P	ant with excitement now awaken from sleep and
S	wiftly imbibe for that first glorious blossom

A difficult but beautiful Acrostic ramification of the Tulips, Annalise. Thank you for your comment. So many distractions when living outside the spirit. Absolutely Annalise, it is a personal decision, one well worth making for the rewards are forthcoming even in our present life. The rewards could be compared to the difference between sailing through one's life, or spinning in the marshes. Agape, Moses

Hi Annalse, so glad you enjoyed my "Van Buren Station" and thanks for the encouaging words. There's no place like Chitown. I lived there for seven years and these days make the 2.5 hour trip from my home in Holland MI many times a year. Speaking of Holland, I was glad to see and delighted by your "Glorious Blossom" poem as we have our famous Tulip Festival in a few weeks here in Holland. Hugs, ~Jim MeanderthalMan

Terrific description of one of spring's earliest bloomers, Annalise. I love the way you bring them to life, having them yawn in spring's rain, and then tasting and feeling the sun and rain. I know you've been busy, Sweetie. Thanks for taking the time to stop by. Missed you! Love, Carolyn
