A Flower To Auroville Mother-8 Poem by Indira Renganathan

A Flower To Auroville Mother-8

Rating: 5.0


Suryakaanti (Sunflower, Helianthus annuus)


You appear to me like a celestial chit
Dropped lost on your dad's solar inspection
When vacillates your heart east to west
Following your dad's path with anticipation

Your blossoms are sunny fanning around
Centered supporting, a disk of seedy thicket
They appear to me like your sticky tears hardened
Of a melancholic squeeze of a sorrowful heart

Dear flower, may I call you the 'Sunflower'
Your semblance as is so of the yellow sun
Your palmy-leafy stand says 'don't worry ever'
For you are for our use on and often

Hmm Suryakanti..... I have been to a field full of them at a very young age and that sight is still in my mind. Nice write ma'am.
