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!

Richard L McClellanOn twenty four July of eighty five,
a Trailways bus I did ride,
the destination of Jackson [Basic Training],
a new life for me,walking step by step,
running everywhere I go,
marching in unison,
a new life for me,shining my shoes,
they sparkle in the light,
subject to inspection,
a new life for me,carrying my weapon,
cleaning the firing pin,
to the range I go,
a new life for me,riding cattle cars,
like a herd in summer heat,
shooting 300 meter targets,
a new life for me,As I walk through the valley,
a evening prayer, Psalm’s 23: 4, I now pray,
resting before morning inspection,
a new life for me,my journey, life direction a new,
physical training, much to do,
walking, running, marching,
is all a new life for me,in 10 weeks,
a new bayonet I be,
soldier of fortune,
a new life for me!Voting is closed
