Chemical Flowers Poem by Sadiqullah Khan

Chemical Flowers

Rating: 5.0


Last night
While ‘buying’ flowers
Red in color
Their buds opening
In a bucket of water
Without soil
A tablet in the water
Is all the flowers need
And for the colors
Add some chemical
To the soil
To get colors
As red as can be
Or blue or green
For the bouquet
In the corner of the room
Or to the one you love
The essence is though
To please the eyes
And charm the emotions
Without fragrance
