Tulips

Rows and rows of tulips
Planted in rows by color
Blowing in the breeze
Like a flag of multicolor

Oh! How lovely in spring
To see the tulips with green
Hear the bird's voices sing
If thinking made it so

Off to spring I would go
Carrying little just a notebook
Where I could write, and look
At the cottony clouds

Finding shapes that I say
Outloud, thinking on shades
Of blue and how much I love you
But thinking is only a dream

Where my love I entertain
Reality sets in and then
The work of the day begins
But even then I get carried away

Come with me today
Into the land of fantasy and play

I very much liked the beginning. The last 2 verses seem an after thought and perhaps best worked in or left out as the rest stands nicely on it's own. Light & Love
