Tulips of Amsterdam

If you were to inquire of me
To impart my knowledge about flowers 
My answer would be this
I have seen with my own eyes the Tulips blossoming in May
In Holland's field's 
On a sunny day
The likes of which my eyes had never seen before
Colors divided into rows so rich 
Try as I could 
I could never explain 
What I have seen
In Colors so perfect they rended my eyes blind
In high resolution definition my vision recalibrated 
To a new scale and level
A miracle of nature I knew not had existed
Has blessed me with
I was at one with the greatest gift
A rose can not compete with for sheer beauty

Beautifully portrayed, Christopher. I have not been to the tulip fields but you describe them in a very painterly style. // Barry

You brought back many happy memories as I have visited the Keukenhoff bulb fields in Holland, it is so so difficult to describe their sheer beauty and you have really done a marvelous job:-) hugs Jan xx
