Seasonal Affairs Poem by Veeraiyah Subbulakshmi

Seasonal Affairs

Rating: 4.7


The dry spell warn the plants,
To bloom faster to leave the seeds,
The once green leaves have acquired yellow,
Color, the fiery wind disperse the twigs,
Covered on the tables above the roots,
Not to evaporate what little love that is left,
To make the life line moist, while the sun,
Wears the hottest attire to scorch,
And ignite the bush fire in the secluded parts,
The garden full of blooms: beetles and butterflies,
Arrive with invitation from the saucy flowers,
The buzzing of mosquitoes hardly a day old,
The melodious mynas are on the upper deck,
Singing their heart out, announcing the betrothal,
Eagerly awaited spending the check leaves,
For the green pastures for the loved ones,
When the spring emerges with new foliage,
The hearts are happy here, paying the due interest.

Thank you Khairul Ahsam for your wonderful comment. I think that the nature as well as the human are obligated to one another..we may be happy at a certain situation and that situation can be created by any one or any thing. At that particular point we may feel that we are indebted to them in one way or another, so the simple expression of gratitude is 'thank you'..if one has invested the love in us, they will like to collect back the reciprocating love which I mentioned here as not simply 'interest' but 'due interest', because the love is not shown back in recent times, and it is due to them..the happy situation only can create such harmonious environment where people are grateful one another Thank you again..

This poem is a portrait of nature, with an apt title. 'The dry spell warn the plants, To bloom faster to leave the seeds, ' - These lines provide the perfect start to the narration of the 'seasonal affairs' that follow suit. 'The garden full of blooms: beetles and butterflies, Arrive with invitation from the saucy flowers, ' - The merry mood described so beautifully! 'When the spring emerges with new foliage, The hearts are happy here, paying the due interest.' I wonder as to what you might have meant here by the word 'interest'. A nice poem, over all.
