Surroundings-46 Poem by Indira Renganathan

Scarlet Surroundings-2

Outside the window
Up the apartment
I see her glowing
All days young and fresh
Tall and wide and bright

She booms, booms to bloom
Blooms blooms blooms to boom
Her boughs bow humbly
Make shady willows
Along the full stretch

This year she is late
A month and a week
June flower she is
And not May flower
Pretty Gulmohar

Unsurpassable..
Even the sunrise
Fails to beat her but
Enhances her charm..
Flaming Gulmohar

Struggling heart speechless
So gone my mind far
To fetch here rich words
To crown with praises
Winning Gulmohar

In opulent red
And abundant spread
How come glorious
She alone this much
Lovely Gulmohar

Waiting for my mind
Back with those rich words
To honour her crowned
I keep on gazing
Splendid Gulmohar
