Moringa.The Marvel...A Roseate Sonnet Poem by Kumaara Sukeja

MORINGA, The MARVEL... A ROSEATE SONNET

What say You, the PUNDIT, of the power of Moringa, The Leaf?
Do pause You, the Poet, before unsheathing your quill from the sheaf- -
Have you guys, by consensus, arrived at a common credo?
'Err... for starters, we found THIS- -the enhanced libido! '

True, Nature has many a surprise in its bounteous store
Never nasty but tasty, and, fabled in the familiar folklore
But, the modest Moringa tabled with a presence quite humble,
Unheralded, caused, ergo, every super-food's record to tumble!

For all the hullaballoo, the yesteryear stars getting a thumbs-down
Overwhelmed in culinary prowess, by the new ' Kid ' in town.

Rogue amidst the Knighted and now blighted, does it seem?
Over an upstart, gourmets going ga-ga- -is it all an unreal dream?
Silent worker- the village maidens know Moringa in all its verdant glory...
Echoing the elders' sentiments in a 'touch-wood' Happy-Ending story!
