Empathy
Dancing young climber Mandevilla, wears neon green leaves,
adorning the terrace garden with its mounting thin sheaves.
Owner family water daily, the plant is healthy
when they cuddle the plant and trim old leaves, it feels happy
Whenever it perceives their presence, it does some signals
to gather their attention, if they respond, it giggles
It often hears their talking and prays for their gaieties
On a calm night, they vent about the plant and feel guilty
for not bracing flowers, thinking they didn't give right manure
Plant empathizes with their feelings, next day flower blooms
