Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

Tulips Blossom and Preen

Magenta buds wait their turn on birch trees stately
    while cedars' spines soar skyward so straightly

  Barren branches of oaks sans customary green
    yet shiver while down low tulips blossom and preen

  Spring shows off her wares at varying stages
    a coloring book for adults of all ages

Marikate Kingston April 11, 2023 at 3:55 PM I have one of the coloring books for grown ups. They are fun and relaxing. I think your poem would make a wonderful coloring book for old and young. I would certainly enjoy it as I do this poem :)

Evelyn Judy Buehler March 29, 2023 at 10:12 PM I always love the onset of spring, with its thrill of anticipation. Your lovely poem captures it fully. :) Gershon Wolf March 30, 2023 at 6:16 PM Me, too, Evelyn.

Valsa George March 29, 2023 at 9:24 PM Lovely poem on the scenes showing the transition between winter and Spring. I like the analogy of the coloring book. Well done Gershon. Gershon Wolf March 30, 2023 at 6:15 PM I'm 18. My kid is 73. We both use coloring books...

Fin Chuuk March 29, 2023 at 10:56 AM Wonderful write, makes me wanna spring everything up to bloom already. I feel like mine are too slow to grow, so had to buy a few more from the blooming indoor garden at Lowe’s. Lol. Gershon Wolf March 29, 2023 at 6:56 PM Gotta get some of that 'Insta-grow!' Fin. lol. ~ Blooms and Blossoms, Gershon
