Subimal Sinha-Roy Poet Rhyme

Hued Message of Hope

The mystery seeds I received in mail,
I did not order, truly surprised me a lot.
Before these got rotten, and turned stale,
out of curiosity I put these in earthen pot.

In the care of the hot summer sun,
nursed by me with profuse water spray,
before the due time sprouting had begun,
their special traits, maybe this tried to convey.

Soon the saplings branched, tall they grew,
buds unfurled to bloom scarlet flowers cherubic,
a species I hadn’t seen, seemed to be mutated new,
hues emitting message of hope in times of pandemic.
