Flowers Glorious & True

 #DailyFlowers

 Oh dear me, what a mixed bag the last nearly 10/12-days have been! Phew! And it is not over and done with as yet! I have had electronics of all kinds misbehave and services go haywire! Started with the electric kettle, moved onto Mom's walker,  then onto the TV which decided audio was better than video! Added to that, we had a massive water drain-out in the apartment building and ordered in tankers for the same. And, news from the world over is not very cheery either! The rains are lashing Southern India; floods and mayhem have ensued. On other fronts, cars meant for driving are being used to mow down people with the maximum impunity possible. Yet amidst all this gloom and doom, flowers bloom; spreading their brilliant plumes! So, let's talk flowers and give into their healing powers!

Fall is in the air, yet flowers blossom fair
Pinks, yellows, violets, happily pair
Colors overpowering in their brilliance
Throughout all they've demonstrated resilience

Flowers wondrous, flowers strange
Flowers coming from across the range
Fairy fan, orchids and more
These blooms certainly did up the score

There were roses, and then there were Hibiscus
In pots, & moved out of them without too much of a fuss
Shalini & Vivek did hibiscus bring
Roses from Mala did their music sync

The verses today seem forced and patchy
The blogger is unable to create rhymes catchy
But gorgeous blooms need to be lauded
Their being always around must be applauded

Roses are ever glowing and strong
To the world they do in glorious shades belong
A rose by any name is still a rose
Its beauty has engendered many a poem and prose
Along with roses, others do have acclaim
As offerings to myriad gods they do proclaim
In bunches, garlands, wreaths and more
Nature sharing her abundant store

Blooms are indulgent
In many hues abundant
Trees, shrubs, plants, rangolis galore
For us to admire and adore

Yellows have some mysterious powers
Gaiety and cheer they always shower
Looking at them begets much pleasure
Makes you think you've found glorious treasure

The evergreen whites came into play
A wide variety formed an array
Sparkling, twinkling teasing gems
Perched on so many stems
Joined by a light white-pink
A silent welcome sentinel did wink
Upping the doorway's frame
Calling a greeting to all who came
