Rajanigandha

Rajanigandha – came in pristine dreams A gardener – so keen - evolved within Wishes accompanied – eternal stream ‘Was waiting for her, with a Mandolin She came like a breeze; in my distressed life And her aroma made me feel delight Her cute smile played magic – vanished all strife She brought fountain of joy; my little sprite She would unfold her petals in the night Wait until dark when the full moon would come She would enchant you by her beauty – white; Spread love allover; make the bees - all hum Rajanigandha – my dream would come true Waiting and watching the firmament – blue 01.09.2016 I dare to write my first sonnet to gift it to my dear daughter on her eighth birthday.

Anindya, what a beautiful poem this is! We call this flower tuberose here in Hawaii, and we make leis from them, as I think you do too. Their scent is heavenly and when I wear a lei it is always what I choose. Congratulations on your wonderful win with this enchanting poem! I loved it! 7 ; )
