An Ode To Flowers Poem by Valsa George

An Ode To Flowers

Rating: 5.0


Flowers, you charming damsels of the Earth
Popping up everywhere in rapturous mirth
Burning in flame, you dazzle the hills and the vales
Sometimes you bloom to die unnoticed in lonely isles

You are beauty and grace incarnate
You are fragrance and loveliness- aggregate
Half hidden in your fluttering emerald veil
You make yourself known by your aromatic smile

Attired in robes of radiant dye and hue
In dawn and dusk you are bathed in dew
Nodding in glee with the gentle touch of the winds
You remain the bees’ and butterflies’ bosom friends

You deck the garlands of the blushing bride
Also grace the wreaths of the expired
In beautiful parlours, you proudly reside
Over the freshly dug up graves, you sadly preside

Though fleeting is your life on the Earth
You accompany man from birth to death
You are there in moments of dazzling glow
Also when we sing the dirge of life’s parting woe

You fairy maidens, how you gladden our hearts
You can delight us more than all the arts
Like the stars in the firmament, on Earth you shine
Who else other than God, your beauteous form design?

I am an avid flower grower. Collecting seeds and regenerating blooms every year. Few love flowers as I do, but your poem indicates a love on par with mine.

Nature with her myriad faces inspires you. What you said is true. You can try to write an epic because your diction is suits the language of the epic.

Flowers are the messengers of nature, its resplendent colours, beauty and delicate charm. The poem has made a realistic portrayal of the role played by flowers in our lives: You are beauty and grace incarnate .......Attired in robes of radiant dye and hue

Though fleeting is your life on the Earth You accompany man from birth to death. Flowers have their own story to tell and this story you have en-capsuled in this brilliant poem.

You fairy maidens, how you gladden our hearts You can delight us more than all the arts Like the stars in the firmament, on Earth you shine Who else other than God, your beauteous form design? Yes God is the best artist, it's He who created beauty and we are just exploiting it.
