Tulips On Display

T he winter weary worshipers of spring’s
U nfettered beauty wend their happy way
L eisurely through massive fields of tulips,
I n fabulous grand opening today.
P etals proudly reveal the colors bold.
S pring sunshine is fast conquering the cold.

O n and on the stream of cars is slow,
N ot wanting to miss any of the show. 

D igging in my garden I am questioned
Is this the best route or the shortest way?
P utting down my tools, I rise to answer,
L egs have had their workout for the day. 
A pril is a full month of tulip tours.
Y ard work must wait as long as tour endures. 




won first place in Carol's contest

Enjoy the brief life of the tulips, Joyce. Wish they would bloom all year long. I'd love to take a tulip tour with you! Forget the yardwork and enjoy the "display." Great entry for Carol's contest and I wish you success, dear. And please don't fret over Galahad. I didn't see the misspelling until I pulled the poem into Microsoft Word. It underlines every misspelling, but I did check the internet for alternate spellings. Enjoyed your poem! Love, Carolyn
