Tulip

I kissed a Tulip in a hidden silent glen
On a sunny day a stranger led me hence
I laid upon the ground hand upon its’ base
The bulb was maybe six inches from my face
Fragrant and alluring yet insidious as well
I licked of its freshness consumed by the smell
Flesh colored light pink and barely bloomed 
It stared back at me as I swallowed and swooned.

An interesting poem to say the least... yet very nicely penned. Depending on ones mind set this could be interpreted in different ways...

Wow Kelli such an alluring vision. I read it 3 times then closed my eyes to capture the visual looking down, the bulb at attention. Well done :)

Thank you NB. Tulips are indeed a strange flower the color they appear changes once the head expands in utter floral beauty. And they are one of the edible flowers. :)kelli
