A Flower To Auroville Mother-78 Poem by Indira Renganathan

Rangoon Creeper(Quisqualis indica)


A sudden sprout and you grow
Up my mind-walls so intent
Clamping my memoir to blow
To my vision a vista distant

In the childhood street mine
At the sixth porch opposite
White to pink to red blooms
Pendulous trumpets you there

Who's it? my curiosity asked
Fragrant with magical colours
Five lobed on hardy wood held
Elliptic leaves in huge bliss

Who's it? -you Rangoon creeper
Till now and always perennial
Golden and fresh in my memoir
Livening so nicelyornamental
