tulips intertwine to announce spring's arrival

two lips meet another's in dangerous liaison

hearts dare,

summer heat a touch away.

Love this - short, simple, but powerful. It's a reflection of what could be and the passion that drives us forward. Well done!

I love the tulips intertwined. The arrival of spring and all the hopes and joys that are possible. The warmth of spring turning to summer heat.

Nicely done - Take care - Dave

When I see the word, "tulips", I think of Holland....and right away I love the poem! :) A poem that hints at a sordid affair, but does so elegantly! Good one, Jacob. Lydi**

Spring does turn a lover's fancy to
budding desires when tulips carress
under the shadow of an apple tree.
A liaison that that becomes a butterfly...
as ever, Pat

I like the word play in this poem Jacob. Tulips are like a breath of spring. I love their vibrancy. Red tulips especially. The other two lips meeting though, now that sounds positively scorchio. Nothing like a bit of heat and a dangerous liason sounds as though the temperature could become sizzling.

Don't ask me why, but this reminds me of a scene in a move entitled, Zandalee, with Nicholas Cage. Talk about summer heat! There's a scene where he has the woman up against an iron fence, and he says, "Do you know what I like the most?" She says, "What?" He replies, "When you don't have anything underneath." I believe it was filmed in New Orleans. Talk about the heat! I like how you use "tulips" and then "two lips" to represent the lovers. The wordplay is excellent! It makes me want to tiptoe through the tulips. :-) Just an aside and curiosity … Why went you give someone a rating of 100; and you're the only one who has given a rating thus far, does it show 93.5%????

[jacob erin-cilberto]

thank you for your kind review, Linda...and yes, Tiny Tim echoes...ha ha.
as for your question...i never do the ratings myself...but there have been so many glitches on this site...not surprised to hear that.
