Flower 16 - The Charming Carnations Poem by Geeta Radhakrishna Menon

Carnations! Glorious flowers of tradition,
Charming blooms that dance in jubilation,
Flowers chirpy, of thousand years of celebration,
Flowers cultivated in Eurasia for generations.

Coronation flowers of kings and castles,
Charming pretty maidens with crowns of blooms,
Petals, so soft, comely, dainty, of matchless elegance,
Pure fragrance like the healing cloves, without a bristle.

Cavalcade of beauties adorned with pink carnations,
Chanting and singing the songs of promulgation,
Red, pink, white, yellow catalogue of carnations,
Royal bloom of, captivating clairvoyance.

Carnations Pink and yellow! So pretty!
Carnations Red and white! So gritty!
O Grace us, with your pink of good health,
O Bless us, with your red vibrant wealth!
