The Tulip
So you won't have to break your neck reading this, I've printed it here:
~ The Tulip ~
Tossing turban style contours, with an aloofness as one passes by,
Utilizing every charm it possesses, under a lupin blue cloudless sky,
Like a guardsman, gallantly standing, holding up his noble head high,
In rainbow colours, brilliant and stately, a vision to surely yield a sigh,
Ponder thus upon the regal tulip, it has pure beauty, you cannot deny.
The Tulip ~ by Ernestine Northover
Having to turn the print to read the verse, causes it to yield three different views. Purely accidental. :-)

ReplyDeleteThanks, Gina. I'm going to have some 8x10s made today to see if the words are large enough to read. I was just messin around with it and it was kinda nice. I only had a few blooms, so I had to concentrate on closeups.
ReplyDeleteWay to go, Clyde, always trying new procedures.;)) Beautiful tulip, and presentation!!
