Comment from Jeff Watkins
My love is like red, red rose. My love is like tulips. Instead of a simile, you use a symbol. Similes are wannabe symbols, and you use a symbol to express several aspects of a relationship. I'm impressed.

Great way to use your 20 words, and best of luck in the contest. Ingeniously expressed. I recall an episode of "Midsomer Murders" in which an expert on flowers kept going on about them, describing them in erotic terms. The tulips would have blushed. judi

I love tulips. They are colorful and beautiful. The picture is nice. The yellow background is time for spring...
I like what the poem says; "Tulips coloring our relationship." They certainly make people love them. The love relationship is build and resulting: "Tulips on my mind."
Thanks for sharing.

Hey my friend. this is top shelf poetry. Twenty words is not much to drive home a theme...especially involving flowers which have been done in so many ways by so many poets. Keep up the good writing, Bill. Good luck in the contest. Bob

And are they a metaphor for two lips? I don't seem to be in your realm of understanding. I see a lovely presentation with an apt poem that seems to be saying something else.

Sometimes tulips are just tulips.
Comment from nomi338
To my diseased mind two lips are always preferable to one. One lip only would be an awful thing to behold. Ugh. Or did I get it wrong again. I get so confused these days. Are we speaking of flowers or are we speaking of kisses? I get so confused.

I am clearly presenting a flower. What you are interpreting is on your end.

Bill, this is a very passionate poem, full of love and color. You've chosen a beautiful photo. The reflective layer of water below the tulips could be something that gives reflection snd sustains the freshness of the passion. I love this excellent presentation, Bill.
Good luck in the contest!
Blessings,
Cindy

Comment from palmart
Perfect 20-word poem! You described passion and feel lings in a way totally compacted. Tough job! And the form the poem is written also outlines the idea of an imaginary tulip as well. Picture and framework colour are a perfect complement of your writing! Thanks for letting us travel to you internal Worlds!
