Songs of Praise

  #DailyFlowers

Well work finally eased off, but the blog was still delayed as the blogger had to herself play nursemaid. A dumbbell fell in love with my foot, my lil toes almost went kaput. But mercy did shine, wasn't a break to see in the x-ray, and all was fine! Of course, the owies and ouches did for sometime reign, until meds kicked in and smashed the pain.

The blogger was all set to write lines
To raise praise that would fit in so fine
Alas, the work Gods began to frown
And work came tumbling down
It went on for so long
That into sunset vanished the songs
So, here I am ready to try
Hoping rhymes won't have run dry
Here's to creating songs of praise
To cheers that flowers do always raise
There was a one-upping game going on
The Alamanda was by a fire poker set upon
Vivek and Shashi added to the frame
And that set off the whole game

Come summer and the Amaltas is in full flow
In and around Delhi roads it puts on its show
But Amaltas isn't the only queen
Multiple yellows do happily preen
Lavender, violet, whites and blues do in join
Inter-playing narratives they joyfully coin

Reds and oranges always days brighten
Our troubles and worries always lighten
Their brilliance always rules the day
Chases cares, tensions all away
Of course, there's the siren call of Gimme Red!
Sometimes, contributors it has into mischief led
Along with reds the merry pinks do abound
Offer hues at once sublime & profound
Into the medley Tulips were brought
Their delicate beauty is always sought


Lilies, hibiscus & roses
Gems that nature periodically discloses
In gay abandon do they bloom
Offering variegated plume
From near and far do they come
Singing songs, marching to their own drum


The lamppost this time is hobnobbing with flowers
Each on the other beauty gleefully showers
A butterfly has anointed a flower its throne
While alongside white bunches avoid being blown
Common and exotic widen the choice
As we humans in their grandeur rejoice

Another merry bunch in does prance
Its combinations enthrall and romance
Blooms as far as the eye can see
Joyous color waving with glee
Such happiness do they spread
Enliven each day and morn ahead
