A Flower To Auroville Mother-71 Poem by Indira Renganathan

Foolproof Plant(Flaming Torch
Billbergia pyramidalis)

Strange to me you looked
Wayward when I walked
Like a torch budded red
Atop fine side and side
Moist leaves kind to add
Aqua to make you refreshed
Even when the sunshine ended

Strange but true your name
Perky, perennial to flame
lighting a refuge and tame
Frogs to speak your fame
Not flower but flowers same
Making the whole to frame
A lot of summer blooming game

You, Bilbergia in silent sheen
When pressed in soul so clean
So more to be a purplish queen
You turn seated well between
Heart and soul too extra serene
Overwhelmed of your scene serene
To feel wish all come and convene
