well, that is wonderful! Good for you!
Maybe after people read your poem, florists' business will boom.
Lovely idea and lovely poem.
And you picked such a cheerful flower.
Smiles to you!

Hello pome lover!
So pleased my words resonated with you!
I am honored by your exceptional rating and thoughtful review!
I went grocery shopping today - at the store that inspired this poem - and I didn't see any tulips! So...maybe "it" has caught on! :)
Hoping that you are safe!
Thank you again!

you're most welcome.
I'm not supposed go to the grocery store - promised my granddaughter, so no tulips. And would you believe the soonest I can pickup my grocery order is on the 31st!! The store had 1700 orders. I am going to use up what's left in my freezer - going to be some weird meals.
Anyway, you stay safe, too.

I really love this poem you have penned for the Hope writing prompt. It is so very true. Sometimes we need to step out of our comfort zone and give someone else a smile that could be more down or worse off than we are. Thank you for sharing. I wish I had six stars to give you. love and blessings, Teri

Sometimes we have to look for beauty in our busy everyday lives. For some it's a sunset, others it animals in nature, and for you it's flowers. I notice there's not a big run on bookstores or board games. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from judiverse
This is a wonderful poem for what we're going through now. Hope always rises with the spring flowers. How lovely that this woman passes her tulips on to a dispirited shopper. It's like she is passing along hope. Such beautiful rhyme and flow in your poem. There couldn't be a better expression of hope. Best of luck in the contest. judi

Sometimes we need a little brightness to cheer us up. It's nice when it's as simple as some flowers. Not everything has to be rushing and scary all the time. Great job
