#DailyFlowers
A post is long overdue! But the mind doesn't want to write and the eyes grimace at the computer's screen bright. The growing images pile says you do need to take a while, craft some verses, stanzas and rimes, spread cheer in these nerve wracking times. And then, there is the discipline ingrained, that insists it's time fingers and eyes strained to do what they need to
Sunflower has a complicated botanical name
But does that stop its ever-growing fame
It tends to follow the sun
Angling itself and following its daily run
Wish we could hear the song it sings
As it soaks in wonders the sun does bring
Helianthus debilis-Beach sunflower-cucumberleaf sunflower
Oranges-yellows dominate the post
On the air they throw their boast
Among the pinks, reds we also do thrive
Stronger emotions we do drive
Your gardens and vases we bring alive
Our rhythms to hear you must strive
We sing, dance and merrily prance
You could join us if you take the chance
Mayhaps to lose the world's binding
And rejoice in Nature's glad winding
Cossandra infundibulifarmis-Fire-crackers-प्रियदर्शिनी-अबोली
The flower expert does more gems bring
Each of his shares makes the heart louder sing
Reds, whites, pinks, come into delight
Making for an eternally pleasing sight
Plumeria rubra-Red frangipani-Pagoda tree-लाल चम्पा &
Zephyranthus Candida-Zephyr Lily-Rain Lily-Peruvian Swamp Lily-सफेद जेफर लिली
A friend recently wrote in to say
She looks for the blog everyday
She has FOMO on the brain
It must really be a heavy strain
But then she says the blog is bliss
And she tries real hard not to miss
Therefore, it is the blogger's duty
To write verses that bring out nature's beauty
That all may pause, take a break and enjoy
Words and letters that for flowers do deploy
Their charms to be the revealing lamp
As myriad blooms put upon us their stamp
Life does serve some real shockers
That form full time blockers
A co-contributor has recently been dealt such a hand
Despite all that we know, it is hard to understand
From whither comes the strength to withstand
When a wrench has been thrown into the planned
Lovely blooms she brings forth to say
Love, hope, health should govern your day
We raise a wish and prayer to the overarching lord
To protect, shelter, heal with his umbrella and sword
In the meanwhile, brilliant colors do trip along
With their songs, they seek to make us strong
Shashi's ambit has grown vast
For the flower hunt, his net is cast
Much ground does he cover
Newer blooms to discover
There was Mr. Rabbit missing the clover
He did wonder if it was an Alice-in-Wonderland do-over
A task the blogger has him assigned
He must visit the 9/11 memorial designed
The teardrop close-up must be awesome
Capture blooms that near that column blossom
Whites say their tale is not yet told
Their beauty is a joy to behold
So, we give them their rightful due
Afterall, they are embodiements of the true hue
