During this dark time, it's wonderful to read something that brings hope to all lucky readers of this. All from flowers. So it's not milk or toilet paper...but it's something that lifts the spirit anyway. Just like this excellent poem. Thank you for sharing a smile for those who need it! Good luck at the polls xoxoxoxo

Hello Mrs. KT,
Nice piece of poetry having impressive phraseology, smooth flow throughout from the beginning to the end with lovely rhyming scheme, and beautifully depicting its theme.
The last stanza is particularly noteworthy.

My neighbor bought me flowers today and I was so blessed. Your poem is so relevant is this hour. People look soon scared and need a little hope. All the best, Laura.

amen and amen -0 and I'm watching each day to see where I can encourage someone - pray for someone - help someone. This is what we are to do - a bunch of tulips is the right thing to do.

At first I thought this was a poem about the virus, but I soon realized it was about how we treat others and their fear. We share some hope that we have! This is beautiful and positive and worthy of a six!

Tulips instead of milk and toilet paper. Have to love it. The resilience of flowers blooming again every spring reminds us that life goes on. This is only a phase. It has no power o'er our days/when hope is shared and then passed on. Amen!

Hope is contagious when it's well placed hope and in the right place. Fear brings torment and can spread like a wildfire. I like what you've presented here and enjoyed reading this well written work. Well done!

Wonderful message in your well rhymed poem! We need this much more than ever today. I like that the lady doesn't buy to hoard but leaves "to share" and she shares her smiles and sunshine of hope with others. Best wishes in the contest!
