She was the tulip queen
Wild and red, she ruled
the meadow
Flowers grew at her touch
Grasses bent to her will
Even the birds
sang on demand
The fields were her island
The rocks, her castle
To find her retreat,
her haven,
her heaven,
she had just to cross the bridge
of her mind
It may have been a bit unstable,
but she never fell.

What an imaginative perspective you've given us!! Such a joy to read this flavor after a long day...thank you so much for adding to this challenge!!
Oh, how I adore those closing lines!
This was fun to read..The tulip queen..for some reason I want to say from New Orleans..very creative..thanks for sharing.
Loved the last 4 lines. A bit unstable but she never fell. Isnt that my innermost fear? That every one else is so adult, stable and I am still figuring it out. :-)
This poem links up with both the tulips and the idea of the haunted hearts. Lovely work.
PS. Love your new mousie!
smiles...a bit unstable is still not a broken mind...esp one that brings life with a touch...
Lolamouse you made me smile! ;D
I love this bridge of your imagination! That balancing act can be quite tough-but I love that she never fell! Love this one...

Ah, with a field like that - who wants to cross any bridge that leads away? :)
That ending is priceless and I love it.
