Fiery Plumes

I always buy my wife tulips. Not sure if she actually likes them, but it's the thought that counts I suppose.

I enjoyed your poem Jim.

Lovely lovely and really lovely Jim. ...Good to see you x

Hello Jim, my husband use to always bring me tulips. I adore them. This just brought me a warm glow to read. Thank you for sharing the beauty of such a flower and the power of nature x 

What a lovely write Jim. Tulips don't grow much here in Aus, the most I've ever seen was when I went to Washington DC not too far from the Arlington national cemetery. Either way I really enjoyed reading this one my friend. Hope you are doing well!

Smooth verse Jim. Excellent as always.

The reason why our country (Holland) is always covered with them in the season - too many grumpies to blind to see the beauty and inspiration 😇 Love this 

always a pleasure to read your artistry

You can beat an egg and a drum maybe .. but you just can't beat a bloomin beautiful flower .. except for in a poem perhaps and then, I always think two lips are better than just one .. :) 

Glory to you. 
Glory to you. 
Shake it up. 
I hope you know the song referenced. 

Jim, it's good to be back and with an engaging sonnet to meet and greet.
And such a cleverly and deftly written one at that, a story within a story, potential within potential.
Masterfully imagineered and displayed and as this so so poets memory recalls your word length is much more shorter than your sonnets of past.
Less is more so to speak and cut to the chase when called upon.
Great write my friend and thank you again, not just for writing a touch of class message poem, but of the good virtue's occurring and transpiring within recent messages.
Thanks Jim for writing and that much needed moral support.
All good and never forgotten.

This is truly beautiful, Jim. I am sorry I missed this at the time but glad I've seen andcread it now. Tulips are such beautiful flowers and your poem is as beautiful as they are x
