The Tulips Are Coming, The Tulips Are Coming Poem by J.B. LeBuert

The Tulips Are Coming, The Tulips Are Coming



Here come my dear tulips again.
The distinct spikes are starting to show.
I have to put on paper with pen,
To tell you what flowers I grow.

My favorites are the deep dark red;
They're scattered throughout the gardens.
I have some in every bed.
For this, I beg no pardons.

A hobby, a joy, a love so grand,
My gorgeous tulips will survive.
All winter I've thought and planned,
For the days when they'll arrive.

Soon there will be hundreds anew;
All over the grounds you'll see.
And I'd love to guide you through,
My many gardens - Just You and Me.

Just a quick walk through my place,
To stop and visit my flowers.
It will surely put a smile on your face;
And take only a couple of hours.

Ah, you need to go and find a copy of Tulip by Anna Pavord. Your library may have a copy. A wonderfully accessible history of the tulip in all it's incarnations and the astounding market for bulbs that developed in Europe during the 18th century. A single bulb sold for more than the value of a house!
