Whatsup Flowers Poem by Aniruddha Pathak

Whatsup Flowers

Rating: 5.0


Man in perpetual search for a pal-ship,
Loves courtship of crowd, nor yet living ‘lone—
That a tailwind, no whirlwind powers his whip,
And a good friend from not is seldom known—
A pal whose lap a good pillow can make,
Upon whose shoulders a few tears be shed,
To sail a ship as if in tranquil lake
To goals in sun a friend that renders shade.
Yet, amidst friends flooding one's life today,
Good weather chums, buddies of weather vile,
And those that hide-and-seek in friendship play—
Of type dime a dross daily that we pile;
If fragrance whatso WHATSUP buds can't reap,
How'd they ever blossom any friendship?

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I can't but get feelings that the world is heading to acquire heft more than height. In friendship we seek numbers, not depth. Whats-up friends here include all casual friends of social media.

A man may be surrounded by friends..... but many of them are likely to be fair weather friends! A man may be having thousands of friends in facebook or whatsapp. They desert us in times of adversity! So their number shouldn't be the criterion, but their quality! Great thoughts!

And that is why these flowers do not give much fragrance. Thank you Valsa George.

You're right, Mahtab Bangalee, WHATSUP buds flower not, or if do, give little fragrance.
