So God didn't create the other tulips? Or cactii? Or stinging nettles? Are "bards" here purely to praise the Christian God? can they not comment on human affairs?

This flows well, although I'm not sure I understand exactly what your trying to say. You put beautiful words together, I would give you a 4. Keep writing.

The tulip portrayed as gracefully white in color and in beauty for all to see and enjoy for the short time it is here. The fragrance is light filtering in the air. Enjoy the tulips while they are here.

Such beautiful poem describing whites of purity, humanity and tulips which when busy in earring our minds can't see or feel, message so clear.

A bit over my head. Old poet's writing, which I thought not so good after the first stanza, which is actually very good. Sorry about the 4.
Cheers

Comment from Curt Mongold

Good

The message of mankind living for greed instead of taking the gift of life and truly enjoying it is heard, but a bit more faintly than could be. The style seems to try to imitate the old masters, yet falls short with the repetitive use of white instead of more colorful (no pun intended) metaphors or descriptors.
It is a good piece, but could be made into an excellent one with some minor editing.
Sincerely,
Curt

This thought-provoking poem is, I think, about good and evil. To me, it says that the same "bards" who write of light and goodness have a dark side too, which makes them appreciate goodness even more.

Comment from Indie Skreet

Needs Improvement

your work seems very repetitive and why so many exclamation marks? Never attractively presented, so really uneasy on the eye. I have no idea why this is on the front page. Sorry mate, but I think you should re-think what message you are trying to deliver, cos I can't hear it. Indie

I liked the way this tied in with flowers and the natural elements most of all.
I liked this part most of all

"But wise bards extract whiteness, give life in words
Living messengers offer your white fragrance"

Quite profound that portion of your creation
