Flower 12 - The Red Spring Flowers - Salvia Splendens Poem by Geeta Radhakrishna Menon

Flower 12 - The Red Spring Flowers - Salvia Splendens

Rating: 5.0


When Spring makes her graceful appearance
Like a pretty maiden,
Making her presence felt like a model,
Mainly in parks, lakes and gardens,
It's like Miss Spring walking down the ramp,
With style, gait and poise;
The flowering plants,
The flowering trees,
Greet her with the warmth of sunshine,
Like a burst of applause from the audience,
The trees and flowers radiant with joy
Embrace the Lady Spring with love.

Look at these bright red blooms,
Warm and caring,
Trailing along the fence,
Like little charming fairies,
Waving their dainty wings with fervour
And felicity of a dancing queen.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
These are Red Spring Flowers of Deer Park, Haus Khas, in Delhi. This picture was clicked by my daughter, Radhika Menon, just a day back.(O9-04-2019) Inspired by these flowers, i wrote this poem last year in April, just about the same time. I was pleasantly surprised to see these flowers once again, this year, during a walk in the Park.

Exquisite beauty of a poem. Another masterpiece. It portrays the season in its vibrant colours and reflects the joy on the face of the earth all around. Fantastic use of Simile & Metaphors. The picture is another testimonial. It's like Miss Spring walking down the ramp, With style, gait and poise; ......Greet her with the warmth of sunshine, Like a burst of applause from the audience,
