The blooming A special dawn spreads early rays From a young summer sun; Dawn's born, twilight mist stays, Dewdrops on a bud, run Down, at a leisurely pace. Between the dawn and the morn, He stood enjoying the cool phase And gazed at a bloomer being born. As lovely petals uncurled, Nature's beauty unfurled; A tiny droplet shone, Diamond shaped, 'twas a unique stone A bead dazzling like a crystal sphere. Between the dawn and the morn, Happy sounds of birds he began to hear And awaited a bloomer being born. A garden where daisies and lilies posed, There blooming was a lovely rose; Impatient, waiting in front, of a door closed, Getting anxious, as the morning sun rose, A tiny wail, a shrill cry he heard, quite hoarse. 'It’s a boy', she said, 'and the mother is doing fine' Smiles all around. 'Congratulations', added the nurse And relieved, thanking God, he thought, 'the bloomer is mine'.

I came back twice, trying to compose a reply. This was a cute piece and I liked it muchly, but am still at loss for the insightful witty reply I had so longed to write for you *wink* ~H |

SI,  Loved the double meaning. Of course, I'm not going to think too hard about that second stanza -- it's a garden. Yes, that's what it is. Mike |

I enjoyed this very much!! It is interesting and unique!! Very cool!!

a wonderful poem Sudhir, lovely. As lovely petals uncurled, Nature's beauty unfurled; A tiny droplet shone, Diamond shaped, 'twas a unique stone A bead dazzling like a crystal sphere. Between the dawn and the morn, Happy sounds of birds he began to hear And awaited a bloomer being born. |

I can't say I've read your work before. Wow, I'm really missing something. This was excellent! I cannot find words to describe just what thoughts are running through my mind. So I won't try. But I will look for your work in the future! Beautifully done! |
