Tree 17 -The Glorious Golden Tree Poem by Geeta Radhakrishna Menon

Tree 17 -The Glorious Golden Tree

Rating: 5.0


She is a brilliant golden yellow tree with
Stiff competition to the Sun God, so powerful!
She challenges the Sun with her glowing attire, while the
Sun flutters his eyelids staring at his glowing competitor!
She stands proudly like a golden hillock with
Shimmering yellow summer flowers!
She glows with million smiling blooms,
Sending and chasing away all glooms!
Sensational she is, attracting every passer-by,
Secretly hiding every leaf, every branch, in her canopy,
She is like the fairy tale Princess Goldie-locks,
So charming, so elegant, full of joyous cheers! O!
So generously, she contributes her beauty, To the
Stupendous world of glorious Nature!

A Sonnet

She challenges the Sun with her glowing attire, while the Sun flutters his eyelids staring at his glowing competitor! Shimmering yellow summer flowers! .... //.... The golden glow of Amaltas trees lined up on both sides of the roads here and there present an irresistible sight to people. Especially, a treat for the nature lovers during this part of the year. Thanks, Geeta ji, you have re-created the real magic of 'Shimmering yellow summer flowers! ' in your lovely poetic essay.

Great imagery complemented well by a stunning graphic. Trees hold a strange fascination and if they are dressed in blossoms, their beauty is unrivaled. A befitting tribute to the glorious nature. A delightful read enriched by references to Sun God and Goldie-Locks.

Beautiful poem on the wonders of nature, the trees. How flowers bring colour to our life. How can we thank the trees! , because most other members of the fauna are not that lucky as we are, as they are colour-blind. Do they challenge the Sun-God? Of course they do, they do.. they are the only beings on earth who can.. and the lovely image accompanying the poem! ! ! ! ! Wonderful!

Please correct me if I am wrong in calling it an Amaltas tree.
