Floral Expanse

Floral expanse Roses in vivid colours that smiled in glamour, Red blood to be garlanded at valour, White lilies bunching hearty and serene, Catching lovers' fancy to the extreme, Lavenders at the crest of mountains, Challenging beauties of the terrains, Merrigolds shining bright with sunrise, Worshipping aroma to no surprise, Dahlia, orange and yellow poppies dance, Oleander with their pink flowers put us in stance, Irises swayed taller on their stalks, Bougainville like trumpets' melody outlast, Bluebells borrowed colour from the sky, Yellow dandelions woke up in golden bright light, Tulips were as bright as showers, Their beds flamed like throbbing rings of fire, Forming shadows were rows of white flowers, On azure coloured ground like trails of shooting stars, Tiny wildflowers illuminated the grass, Like jewels in the dust to nature's sarcast !
