Blooms Spring Forth in a Headlong Rush

  #DailyFlowers

I kept telling myself the blog needed to be updated, but work schedules refused to listen. One day to the next did pass, but spare time was missing, alas! And then in came software renewal; easy yet complicated it was the jewel but on time cruel. Flowers were piling up and fast, they had to be featured and put in cast. 

Flowers, flowers, more flowers are singing
Blooms, colorful blooms are ringing true
Pinks of all hues, colors and shades
Are running all around, making new grades
Roses, Balsam, Bougainvillea, Petunia, Periwinkles
So many pinks, all spotting a merry twinkle
Flowers from near, flower from far
All set to add their magic to the jar

 Thence came marching in the yellow band

Lovely, cheery bright yellow
Makes a summer morning so mellow
Spreads its lightness through the day
Scattering sparkles come out to play

 Nature ranges from mundane to wondrous
Along with shapes and colors stupendous
Is it a bird, or a flaming wing
Don't rightly know, but cheer they do bring

 Ever since Shashi has been from home let out
He's become an ever watchful scout
No bloom escapes his eagle eye
No flower is too small to join the blog's supply

 Flowers enthuse us and fascinate our 4-legged friends, too as Shalini can well attest: As खिलती कली prepares to bloom, Dagmag watches in fascination.

Dagmag, the feline stalked the flower
But melted under its tender power
Now he watches over it as it grows
Ready to put on a grand lil show
Over the wall, was a lily tall
Looking down at a periwinkle small
Vivek did the the duo bring into play
Their majesties all flowers did display

When flowers come onto fruiting vines
You have got to admire nature's design
'Tis the strawberry that has come to roost
The tart sweetness gives all a boost
And then there were forget  me nots
Their presence sweetened the pot
Whites, blues, yellows and dainty pinks
Blooms that beautifully together link

Not just flowers that are flush with colors
Brightly colored leaves also share that honor
Speckles of deep maroon bounded by green
Who would deny these leaves the right to preen

From India's Northeast
Comes a veritable feast
Trees and pathways laden with lavender
To nature's magnificence I do surrender

Gamboling out to play were some  lilies merry
From rain to rain-kissed to fiery to those that look alike
Delicate petals, trailing gently like a tripping fairy
Colorful blooms that all hit a major strike

White is spiritual, white is light
It covers a canvas that is all too right
Delicate blooms poised to fly
Swing up and away into the yonder sky

Flirting with oranges and reds
Is the collection coming ahead
Hugging the sky, decorating the greens
All of them are reigning queens

Flowers or no flowers
Blooms have amazing powers
On many a hedge, fern and bush
Spring bursts forth in a headlong rush
