Blooming And Dying Poem by Anil Kumar Panda

It was raining all the day
The flowers drooped and died
Under the weight of raindrops

It was a cool day
With the sun playing hide
And seek behind the clouds
The flowers opened their petals
And smiled at the world

It was a hot summer day
Earth was burning like timber
Cattle dozed off under shade of trees
They were hungry and thirsty
Flowers hung their heads like culprits
Burnt petals fell one by one on dry soil
