Summer Beckons

 #DailyFlowers

 It is true! Summer beckons, in fact it is already here! Strange isn't it! Just the other day we were celebrating the advent of Spring! And here's summer, with soaring temperature, burning/blistering winds, heated earth, dust storms and what not. But, one part of nature hasn't caught up as yet with summer and for that we in India are grateful! Flowers in vivid colors still bloom. 

We begin with lilies
Graceful lines, but not frilly
Blooming in gay abandon
Colors planned and random
Across homes, gardens they frolic
For their lovers an unending topic

Alongside lilies, bloom flowers on various trees
It's as if someone held up a camera and said please
Light pinks, lighter whites do dance
Amidst them a brilliant crimson does prance
Hues of gold, whites, dark pinks further enhance
All together driving us into a trance

Flowers, flowers all the way
In varied hues in they sway
Delicate and bold
Also in shades of gold
Blues tinged with yellow
Pinks smiling and mellow
Teamed with vivid greens
They present quite the scene

The colors parade doesn't end
To beauty it does itself fully lend
Shantha & Shalini do beauties present
They in vividness their place cement

Nature is reveling in its seasons
For blooming it has a million reasons
Full well those reasons suit us too
We've always loved flowers, whether many or few

A trip into the hills did Shalini take
Frame upon beautiful frame did she make
Mountains, blooms, birds did she bring
Along with Shashi & Vivek made our hearts sing
