Debjani Mitra Poet Couplet

Cactus

CACTUS

Prickly Cactus... yet so pretty
Tough can bloom in gentle beauty.
The succulent stubborn spines
The cushion endures ..all so fine.
Thickets of thistles and thorns
The drought of desert ..the dry adorns.
With patience ..the thirst survives..
Green Fingers breathe .. ..to keep alive.
Timeless love.....charming in chastity
An Oasis of water.. in sand  of adversity.
