Flower

This poem I wrote in the year 2013, and published in Alive magazine on October 2013 issue. Presenting here with minor editing.

Gliding through the air, fast;
Slipped into barren land, hot;
Slept for seasons, dry;
Though to erupt, fast;

Gathered the clouds, high;
Rain fallen, heavily;
Waking up, hardily;
Spreading legs, rhythmically;

Grown fast, higher;
Branches spreading, taller;
Buds on the tip, appears;
Flowers bloomed, beautiful;

Fragrance travelled, allover;
Insects swarmed, all-around;
Days are numbered, dried;
Wind took the seeds, further

As a lifelong gardener I appreciated the chosen metaphor you used to convey the message of beauty and the creation of life. Maybe Adam was in the garden for a reason. I enjoyed the read.

I feel like I'm driving to your words. Glowing visuals painting a future. Great work. Definitely enjoyed it.

Flowers are beautiful. What is even more beautiful, is how they spread, and breed rather. They can even after they die, which is the most beautiful thing of all.

I see why this was chosen for publication: the construction based on a kind of reverse syntax really sings and makes it memorable.

I see a parallel to humans and love making...a sort of lesson in the birds and the bees...
very metaphorical.
and very good.

Arundass,

This pleasant to read piece of Poetry seems naturally to Nature to be near to almost romantic in its message ...
