Critical Thinking-78 Poem by Dr Dillip K Swain

While walking inside a beautiful park,
I was arrested by the sweet perfume
Of a solitary flower!

I stood there like an innocent child
Instructed by a conjurer to be unmoved

I asked the flower why she is so beautiful
And so delicate and how can she emit
Such enchanting fragrance for all?

I asked her: Will I pluck you
And take you with me?

She replied: No, no,
Please don't do it
As I am everybody's property!

Do you emit fragrances for all?

Yes, but a mild breeze is my friend
And it carries my perfume to different
Parts of this beautiful park enchanting all visitors!

OK, you stay here
But I will visit you tomorrow!

Then the flower put a critical smile on her face!
