Nature Poetry.....Rains and Riches

Rains and Riches

You sure have missed something
if
you wait for the rain to stop...
and
you just want to see the rainbow

You sure have missed the romance
of
the falling rain !

This fantasy
and
the fable
that there is a pot of gold
at
the end of the rainbow....

if it excites you ...
then you sure have
missed something !

In it truest sense
rainbow should appear
before
the rain...
then
at its end
there would be:
not only a pot of gold
but
a shower of rubies
and
gems
and diamonds !

there are no better riches
than
singing the song
of rain !!!

Nature Poetry......Garden Games

GARDEN GAMES



This time I saw a bougainvillea bush
Swaying and swinging in the breeze
I saw more than the twigs and thorn
Pink-red flowers and dancing leaves

What I saw in the garden when
This time a bougainvillea swung and swayed
A fancy duel was being enacted
A naughty little game, being played !

Wind armed with invisible tricks
And an all-pervading open-armed embrace
Pinned down the healthy bush
Which, not worried, went down with grace

And mighty wind, greatly pleased with this
Released its hold of the armless hug
The bush, equal to the challenge, bowed
Back as if with a gentle shrug

And then to tease the erstwhile conqueror
Leaves of the bush made a flirting dance
Then wind came back with a stronger force
Now it seemed, the bush didn’t stand a chance

This alternating win and loss
This leafy flirt and faceless toss
Went on for an hour and quarter
And unknowingly made me smarter

This time someone made me see
A rare , new kind of beauty !!
