Banian Tree Poem by Gangadharan nair Pulingat..
Banian Tree
I am a holy Banian tree stands in front of a temple
Where there is shade all around me
Having large branches and leaves in me
Capable to give cool and breeze to all
The birds and squirrels, and butterflies of varieties
Construct little nests in my different branches
Though makes lot of noises throughout the day
I have no quarrel with them in any way
In some times even a snake comes and climbs the branches
In search of preys it thinks fit for its hunger
But I cannot say a little objection to it
Since I am only a Banian tree supposed to stand
My tremblings leaves are so much interesting
To all of the humans when there is summerheat
When I give lot of shades and wind
They think fit to sit underneath.
I know I am only a Banian tree
Having no conversational skills
But I can withstand any eventuality of wind
That is my strength lies in my roots
I am a holy Banian tree standing nearby
waiting for the strangers and travellers alike
I tries to fulfill my destiny
Through my service of perfect relaxation from my shade
I am a big banian tree stands in the nearby
Remember me when you pass nearby.
Beautiful flow of words describing banian tree....I loved reading lines.... My tremblings leaves are so much interesting To all of the humans when there is summer heat When I give lot of shades and wind They think fit to sit underneath. Very beautiful way you have captured banian tree in words..... I could imagine each lines. Loved reading it.
I love this poem about the Banian tree. Your description of this tree is so detailed that it helps the reader to envision the shade and coolness that it brings. Birds, animals, insects, humans find lots of solace there. A very refreshing write. Enjoyed.
The poem is written with such conviction, that I couldn't help but re-read to make sure I don't miss anything. I too, will have a look at how a banian tree look, im sure it is as blissful and meaningful as you have portrayed it. A sensual poem, highly enjoyable.
To see a banyan tree sprawling its branches and spreading shade is a joyous sight... With the slightest breeze, its leaves tremble and quiver... It is believed to be sacred as it is seen in front of a temple! It is equally a haven to travellers in the hot sun and small animals and birds and is sturdy enough to withstand the storm and rain... Enjoyed!
