Standing here, staring.....wow! Exceptional usage of words and as always there's so much life. Beautiful.
You have made a garden conversation a message full of aspirations and hope. Though all envy, every one have to play their own psrts well. So nicely captured with all garden trees.
Part - 2 My coconut colleagues feel slightly envious, For no one bothers to sit under them! I have spread myself and my leaves form an umbrella Protecting and shading the people from unpredictable weather! . But under my shade people flock They are happy to sit and relax. I open my arms to welcome them into my cosy lap! Great write.
Part - 1 You have made an interesting inscription on banyan tree having a wonderful insight. I mark the following lines more impressive. Even though I am standing in a park, Where there are many other trees, People choose me as their favourite spot! Continued...
Hi Geeta, It is me again. Two facts about banyan tree: 1. It is reported to be proved scientifically that banyan tree gives out more oxygen than most other trees and that is why animals, including human beings prefer its shade. 2. Banyan tree also has its fruit. But is so very small, just a few millimeters is diameter. When the fruit are ripe, the tree will be flocked by birds. And the seeds, after the fleshy outer part is eaten by the birds, sticks to the beaks, feathers and legs of the birds. The birds rub the body/beaks on rocks/walls/other trees to remove the seeds. And the seeds that get stuck to these rocks etc., germinate there when rain comes. When a banyan tree grows on a rock, its roots grow into the rock and over years, smash the rock to dust, thus creating more soil for other trees. The secrets of nature are wondrous.
Nature! ! With shades of peace and love. Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
Wonderful piece of work again! It is too good....
