Dew On Petal

a new year begins

with the blooming

of a single frosty rose

(~Mizuhara Shuoshi)

dew on petal calls me

to an enchanting land

(~Anusha)

To My Core The Petrichor

(Image Credit: https://www.today.ng)

The earth kissed the soil

Stretched its arms

To embrace the moist

Soothing my core

Oh the aroma of petrichor

And lo drenched in the

Vapours of fortitude

I roll and fall

On heavenly drops of solitude

Oh the aroma of petrichor

Sways me to a distant shore

Soaking in its fragrance

The wild bloom and glance

So happily I wish

The scent to last more

Cuckoo On A Mango Tree

(Image Credit: en.wikipedia.org)

I wandered lonely as a cloud

On the way I found a cuckoo bird ...

A cuckoo on a mango tree

Sings out loud with a soul free

Her melody reminds of a distant land

Mystic tales of a golden sand

Those afternoon naps

On my granny's lap

She makes me nostalgic

Weaving her magic

Cascading shades of greeny ponds

Gleaming meadows of which I am fond

Honey-dipped voice of a chirpy bird

Sways me away with rhythm unheard

A cuckoo bird with a gaity glee

Calls me aloud from a distant tree

** Inspired from William Wordsworth's 'Daffodil'.
