Cactus Poem by Dr. Sakti P. Chakravorty

CACTUS
esspeecee

Plethora of xerosis,
Bonanza of aridity
Zillion efforts for:
- surviving,
- beautifying,
- succulencey. …Cactus.

The fighter,
The gladiator,
The pigmy David
Against giant Goliath.
For greens:
Sign of
Unending youthfulness. … Cactus.

Spinous corpus
To remain tender
To prevent-
Every onslaught, threat
Of extinction. … Cactus.



Teach: pulsation,
-vibration of life,
- in ex nihilio. …O’ Cactus.

In deserted
Droughtful bosom thrives:
- metallic modernity,
- zero-soft civilization,
- non-pulsatile heart,
- packed with ifs and buts.

O’ Cactus –
Irrigate succulencey
In quiescent heart.

Hug de novo
The hurt heart,
For chorus on
Victory of life,
Pour flood of delight
In livings
And living fossils. … Cactus my love!
