Flower 6 - Thetchi Or Ixora - The Red Jungle Flame Poem by Geeta Radhakrishna Menon
Flower 6 - Thetchi Or Ixora - The Red Jungle Flame
My 'Thetchi' garden plume,
Whistling away like a happy groom,
When they smile and bloom,
My heart shoos away all gloom.
Many petals stand together unblemished,
Red profusion of cool November,
Red fluorescence like a ravishing bouquet,
Merry red 'Jungle Flame' undaunted.
Flowers bold that catch your attention,
Blissful flowers that unite the lovers,
Bright cluster of flowers that glows like a flame,
Flowers of beauty and worship in temples.
‘Thetchi' flowers remind you of the promises made,
A lesson that one should never shirk or break,
A strong value to stand with strength and unity,
Together, you win the loving grace of Almighty.
Edited the Poem of four verses with four lines.

Thank you Seema for reading, commenting and sharing your thoughts. God bless.
The following lines remind me of an Urdu translation of Kavivar Bihari's couplet: Green ‘Tulasi' that matches the flame of Lord Krishna मेरी भवबाधा हरो, राधा नागरि सोय / जा तन की झांई परे, स्याम हरित दुति होय..... कविवर बिहारी मेरे अफ़कारे दुनिया दूर कीजे राधिका रानी / कि जिनके सायएतन से हरे हों श्याम नूरानी..... स्व. मुंशी देवीप्रसाद 'प्रीतम'
A beautiful poem indeed. Thetchi flowers are a symbol of Unity which creates strength.
