Moss Rose...! Poem by Vidya Pandarinath

Spread across the rocky walkways
Stalk-Shaped wide green leaves starlike
Tiny plant, fleshy with pointed spike.
Thriving in bright shining sunny day



Small blooms smiling at all hostile plight
Saucer shaped prospering on stem tip
juicy
Overcoming all odds, enduring beauty..oh choosy
Bright carpet of foliage with stunning ruffle sprite


Red, pink, orange yellow, white, oh divine
Array of colours, lustrous five petals outshine
Thin, textured, delicate, opening full in sunshine.
Earthiness is the essence.. superfine


Epitome of perseverance, brilliancy
Resilience is your aestivation
Strength to withstand any situation
Consistency is your proficiency


Look like a rose flower
But you are none the less
Spreading cheerfulness in excess
Full of positivity... such is the power

Adaptation to learn from you..oh divine creation
Tolerance to endure from you..oh charismatic
Determination to perceive from you..oh classy
Resilience to embrace from you..oh splashy
Explicit loyalty to ascertain from you..oh aromatic
Sustainability to grasp from you.. just oh fascination

Oh...tiny prizable Moss Rose
Nobel, humble beauty
Enduring love and tenacity to chose
Devotion is your feature truly..!
