Hurly-Burly Life & Serene Flowers

 #DailyFlowers

 Ladies and Gentlemen, please stow away your belongings in overhead compartments, put your tray tables away, your seats upright, fasten your seat belts, we are ready to take off! 

At times, life over-runneth its cup and the mundane gets buried under the hurried; then rhymes, lines, dances, trances fly out of the window! But worry, not the blogger is back! So, let's take off..

Many a tale was woven on #twitter by co-contributors; one is still in Rajasthan, enjoying sandy dunes and forts; the other is still peeking into neighbors yards, while another is dipping into memories. And then there are others who find flowers hardy enough to fight the December frost and bloom... 

And then there was the inimitable @Vivek, who talked of: Where flowers and leaves merge; Good morning

 You mean we have llowers and feaves
That me very confused leaves
Mergers he urges
Pinks and greens nature submerges?

 While Shalini still in Rajasthan did send in some really bright fellows: Some cheery yellows to take away #Thursdayblues 

Cheery yellows against a gray-scape
From cold ridden Delhi a good escape
Greens yellows a ruling hue
Greetings and wishes coming true 

Shashi joined this cheerful bandwagon with flowers from Austin, Texas

Yellow bells chime out loud
Their songs burst through the cloud
Winter mornings are no longer grey
This vibrant hue lights up the day

Despite being in sandy climes, or maybe because of that Shalini brought these gorgeous beauties in: Hubby to the rescue today with these roses colored orange...remind me of sunsets and candies and of honeysuckle with a tinge

When Roses in deserts flower
Then joy and love do amply shower
Orange of sunsets, honeysuckle and candy
Cheering the day along fine and dandy 

And Shashi not to be left behind, produced a Friday Gem with Happy Friday:

Real or unreal, bunches greens and blues
Oh the wonderfully gentle but brilliant hues
Brightening the environs with their smiles
Come across the world after traveling many miles

While Shashi brought in real or unreal, Vivek took: A peek into neighbor’s garden
#DailyFlowers as morning passes the baton to the afternoon

Into neighbors gardens he goes peeking
Then those flowers he says he's keeping
Cheery, colors bright and red
From morning to afternoon to evening be led

 
And from roses Shalini jumped to gates and trees: Happy weekend, folks of #DailyFlowers !

Bounded and gated from human or bird
Is unknown, but decorate they do the tree's girth
With colors bright and cheery
Unlike the black and bronze, they don't look weary

And Sai of the framing fame
Went and upped the game
A shy hibiscus was brought in to join the fun
Its beautiful folds and pollen gleaming in the early morning sun

And then yesterday, Vivek expanded the definition of #DailyFlowers: Potted plants sitting pretty on an old tree trunk. Good afternoon. I know there’s no flowers but still #DailyFlowers 

 Potted plants on an old tree trunk
Are supposed to make my words dance
Clunk, thunk, plink and plunk
There you are, go into a trance!

His creativity did Shalini admire, even as Shashi went to  Chicago for his flowers: From a trip to Chicago. Have a great Saturday!

Silver suited, hatted, booted
The flowers behind him in appreciation tooted
As he sat there in solitary design
The square and him perfectly in line

Then there came the cheery reds of all hues, whether from sandy climes or flowers holding strong against December Frost. Let's meet them.

 #DailyFlowers We miss the yearly trip to a beach in Mexico or other neighboring country plus the trip to India to visit family. This was a 2014 trip to Cancun, Mexico. Have a great Sunday!

Yearly trips to beaches and home country
To bask in the sun,  love of family and all and sundry
Covid has put a stop to all
Pretty soon, we hope to remove this heavy pall

Flowers brighten up any view...even such a forbidding one. Happy #SundayMorning #DailyFlowers people!

A plant so hardy
Its growth is never tardy
Flowering in the most unlikeliest places
Filling with beauty even the most forbidding spaces

#DailyFlowers: Red  " Tetti " flowers holding up in December frost 

Flowers holding up in December's frost
Make us wonder whether it's worth the cost
To cheer the day reds bloom
Their brightness is a vivid plume

Vivek brought in his share

Roses! It's roses all the way
That's Vivek cheering up Sun-day!
The reds n yellows gel n glow
Put on a fantastic show

Vivek, Shalini, Shashi, Sai and Vishnu
