**perennial Bloom Poem by RAJ NANDY

PERENNIAL BLOOM
When the scorching sun kisses those lovely
Spring flowers,
To devour their beauty slowly by the hour!
They wither away and gradually begin to fade, -
As Autumn paints them with ever darkening
shades!
They soon get covered by the hoary winter’s
frost,
But those perennial flowers are never quite
lost!
These self-seeding flowers once again
re-generate,
To bloom once more when Spring kisses
them awake!
