When Flowers Soothe

 #DailyFlowers

 This post is late; apologies for that! Sometimes life intervenes and how. Saturday morning began with a laptop drained of power; for some reason the battery near flat-lined. If that wasn't enough to set the day on its head, the cook threw a tantrum. She's been taking days/evenings off left, right and center without so much as by-your leave. Warned her last month early on and she went missing for 10-days out of the 31.   This month, she's already 3-days not in and Sunday, she decided she didn't want to work anymore, that too on a call. Hence...

Poetry & rhymes took on darker hues
As the blogger stomped her shoes
Tried in vain to get rid of anger, disgust & pain
So that flowers' beauty didn't meet disdain
To that end, the post was delayed
Till better moods prevailed

That hour is now nigh
Flowers will be raised up high
Rhymes will be written in praise
For nature always imparts grace
Some beauties last week did get missed
But this time they begin the list
From Shashi come magnolias dear
From others, some beauties rare

 

 

Roses never fail to surprise
With hues brilliant they do rise
From across the country and friends they come
Their intense regalia sounds a drum
Grace, love, peace, beauty they do disperse
Sometimes do confound the defining verse
For what words can be designed
When these majesties are combined

A plethora of glazed reds and pinks do abound
With blazing beauty they do us surround
Across hills, plains, cities they come to shine
These bunches are just so divine
These glowing treasures do loudly declare
Spring is round the corner, so let's be aware

If one were to miss the leaves
Roses in glorious colors one would perceive
Rounded, layered petals do gaily bloom
Lovely Ranunculous in colorful costume

Spring has come to the fore
With a variety of colors to adore
Pansies and hollyhocks must have their day
With others of their ilk they merrily sway

If Spring comes, can yellows be far behind
For the season they are spectacularly designed
But that's not to say other colors don't get to show
Flowers always form a harmonious flow
Seemingly carved out of colored marble
The two greens merrily sparkle
Shalini's Ria is meandering through the Northeast
Sending from there a virtual feast
Shashi, meanwhile looks to ornamental bushes
As more reds, yellows, mandarin oranges make the rushes
