Flowery Musings!

 #DailyFlowers

Sometimes the weather is so unfriendly that you don't feel like putting fingers to keyboard and it seems like bliss to procrastinate! And, merrily, I would, if it were not for the innumerable flowers awaiting their turn to shine. And therefore, that promise brings me here. But verses and rhymes seemed to have taken a break and the brain refuses to cooperate. 

Yet, the vividness of pink beckons
A tired brain may awake it reckons
Spout some verse that makes sense
That this heat will not render dense
The flowers may soothe all cares away
Pull out all stops, merrily hold sway
Must say the pinks delight
For a tired mind, are a refreshing sight
From Maharashtra's state flower, & lilies galore
Their beauty keep us wanting for more
In joyful abundance do they bloom
Summer's onset and spring's tailing plume

 Tulips, hyacinths, roses were in brought
Sharing of vividness was sought
Some of these on walks were captured
In hues brilliant their gloss enraptures
Some rare, some known, & raindrops on petals
Touching our hearts on so many levels
In their beauty do we rejoice
Nature offers abundant choice

 The mogra, bela & champa adorn summer
So many become their season's drummer
What tales these are that they carry
Let's listen to them and a while tarry
Blooms on pathways, trees, lakes are seen
Presenting quite a colorful scene
Memories of these we are to store
When times get tough & troubles come to shore
Parrots have a meeting, the weaver bird builds its nest
Nature in its myriad forms always aces life's test

Like a bride's sparkling cape
These blooms the tree trunk do drape
Little twinkling stars come home to roost
Giving their host a massive boost
A delicate white-pink adds to their charm
The rubber tree preens like an old fashioned marm

Whitey the majestic was very much missed
The rajnigandha he did not deign to kiss
Shalini did manage to make him pose
But he did look down his nose
Gentle phlox did in blend
With blooms that Anjali from the hills did send
Adeniums produced variegated flowers
And striped blooms increased powers
