Richard L McClellanRed Tulips
Among this sea of tulips,
I fancied only the Red,
Not the Purple or Yellow,
Only Reds I pursue.In each tulip bed,
I fancied only Red,
Not the Golden or Sky Blue,
Only Reds I’m gonna pluck.Oh Red Tulip,
So beautiful are you,
When spring is here,
I just can’t pick one or two.I long for a bouquet of Red Tulips,
Not the mixed colors for sure,
My quest is for Red,
And only the Red ones will do!Voting is closed
Richard, there is definitely something to be said about the power of knowing what you want and refusing to settle for less. If a red tulip sparks joy while other colors do not, then that is absolutely what you should choose. After all, that just leaves more for the people who prefer yellow. Thank you for sharing this sweet poem!
