One lovely bud bloomed into a beautiful flower today
In the valley of flowers
Very timid and shy
Lovely and glowing too

I'm so glad I read your notes about the poem. You've managed to write a sad story in such a beautiful way. I agree with Rajesh that education is needed to end such injustice.
Geetha, This is such a magnificent poem. I was reminded of both Keats and Burns while reading it. I enjoyed the Poet's Notes almost as much as the poem. Thanks so much.
Reminded me of Kalidasa's famous lines in Kumarasambhavam - the karnikaara (kanikkonna of Kerala) flower makes us sad due to its non-fragrance although it has all the beauty in the world (varnaprakarshe sati karnikaara, dunoti nirghandhatayaasmacheta) . Is the Hindi original yours?
Thank you Sir, for the valuable comment. Yes, this poem is written by me in Hindi first and english is the translation. I don't gave guts to fight for what's going on in society. But I have seen that widows as well as childless woman stay away from it. Now the things are changing as compared the past. We were just discussing on this topic and I thought I will write this poem.
The poignancy of a flower not able to showcase in the vase as it lacks fragnance is well portrayed in this poem. Waiting for the original version. Well written Geetha
A beautiful translation! Though I haven't read the original one, still I can say this is a beautiful write! Nothing is perfect.... so is the flower.... It has beauty and bright colour, but lacking in fragrance! For the very reason, it is not grouped with the flowers in the vase! Let the flower remain in the plant itself, marvelling in its own beauty and giving gladness to the beholders! Enjoyed this lovely poem Geetha!
It is the poet's turn to observe the state of the flowers. Maybe that one flower is not happy to be brought to the flower vase from its original state. To see the feelings of each thing is something amazing. Beautifully brought out in the poem. I can imagine the beauty of the original poem also
You have painted this picture so well in my mind. I am thinking of this one single rose with no thorns standing with more beautiful roses. All these roses so alive waiting to pose but seems not viewed by all. Thank you
I have not read the original but reading this has provided the insight.Loved reading it.
