This poem is a color happy Artist
This poem is a rainbow born from a seed
This poem is a forest of fairy tale trees
This poem is an abstract art
A canvas with crazy hues
Each color vying with the other
To dazzle and hypnotize you
The invisible brush in Her hand
Paints with strokes and splatters
To make you marvel at Her mastery
This poem is a color happy Artist
This poem is Eucalyptus deglupta
Birthed from cracking a seed
It races towards the sky in no time
It yearns to touch its love hidden there
While its bark peels like paint
It morphs into a solid rainbow itself
With strong roots well grounded
This poem is a rainbow born from a seed
This poem is a spectacular forest
An almost impossible treescape
Of living and scintillating rainbows
One might mistake it for Eden
Though there’s no fruit for Adam or Eve
But the dreams of others grow unhindered
And reality stands on the threshold of dream
This poem is a forest of fairy tale trees
This poem is a tale of Nature as an abstract
artist
This poem is a ground born rainbow dreaming
high
This poem is a dream of a forest of fairy
tale trees

So much to love here Sumana, the rainbow born from seed... What a wonderful image.
ReplyDeleteI loved your use of images and words to capture the essence of greenery. Beautiful write. Impressed.
ReplyDeleteAh, I wonder what Eden would be like if there were no fruit for Adam and Eve. I do like the idea of dreams growing unhindered....but only if people dream positive things. Smiles!
ReplyDeleteYour first three lines put a ginormous grin on my face. And it was all yumminess after that. Such luscious description--a feast for the senses.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I love what the sound of "Eucalyptus deglupta" does for the tongue. :-)

That's exactly what an abstract is supposed to do. The varied Eucalyptus colors lend credence to the beauty of abstracts. Well done Sumana, great pics!
