Dreaming of tulips on the wind | A picture is worth a thousand words contest [EN/ES]

Hello, lovers of free literature!

I'd like to tell you that there are no tulips in my country, but many of us dream of them, of the caress of their petals, their colorful diversity, their history, and the symbols hidden in each spike.

They may not really exist here, but that doesn't stop one from dreaming and writing as a pretext for the initiative that @freewritehouse offers us this week.

So, by the way, I'm giving you this poem, written at the time for someone I grew particularly fond of. I hope you all enjoy it and share your impressions with me.

The image used is a requirement of the call.

¡Hola amantes de las letras en libertad!

Les cuento que en mi país no hay tulipanes pero muchos soñamos con ellos, con la caricia de sus pétalos, su colorida diversidad, su historia y los símbolos que esconden en cada espiga.

Podrán no existir realmente acá, pero ello no impide que uno sueñe y escriba como pretexto ante la iniciativa que @freewritehouse nos ofrece esta semana.

Entonces, a propósito, les regalo este poema, escrito en su momento para una persona a quien tomé especial cariño. Espero sea del disfrute de todos y me compartan sus impresiones.

La imagen usada es requerimiento de la propia convocatoria.
