Photographs and poem by Mildred Alpern.

Spring Tulip Immersion

If you could drown yourself in tulips,
What a swim that would be
Cavorting with silken sheen petals
Floating in a variegated sea
Rising and falling with the breezy tide
Of flowers in serried array
Plumbing the depths of their secret hearts
Coiled in their soft shell display

Please limit comments to 150 words and keep them civil and relevant to the article at hand. Comments are closed after six days. Our primary goal is to create a safe and respectful space where a broad spectrum of voices can be heard. We welcome diverse viewpoints and encourage readers to engage critically with one another’s ideas, but never at the expense of civility. Disagreement is expected—even encouraged—but it must be expressed with care and consideration. Comments that take cheap shots, escalate conflict, or veer into ideological warfare detract from the constructive spirit we aim to cultivate.
