My Blossoms

When the season of splendor sprinkles 
the scent of sprightliness,
when the koels and kingfishers sing hymns of hope 
and merrily waltz their wings of chartreuse dreams, and
when from her day dream, my muse emerges in ecstasy,
I dip my quill in vivid shades of ebullient sacramento ink.

When in a gentle stroke, the first ray of the golden prince
caresses the myrtle terrain of earth - his beloved princess,         
and she wakes up from her dark moss slumber
blushing and swinging in neon shades of love 
in a moment of delight as she becomes
a pinnacle of rustic beauty 
sparkling and swaying in shamrock hues, and
when the harmonious harp of the buzzing bees 
wafts in the air as they suck sweet nectar
from the brilliant blooms adorning 
my muse’s verdant malachite rockery
adding vivid lime vibrance to the hustle and bustle  
of the grassy gorgeous flower beds dispensing
the aroma of exuberant pistachio thoughts of my reasoning -
and becomes a harbinger of hope for my creative quill,
I passionately let my avocado ink 
to pen its inspiring pearls of perception.                                                                                             

When my muse ponders 
on the fragility of life fraught with
hindrances and hiatuses for progress,
yet wonders on how life advances 
and ascends in the rungs of optimism -
like buds finding way to bloom
even in a pit of rocky soil:
my ink blossoms in the tender glow
of my lilac dreams of love and peace.

Anyways, that wasn't the first time I was noticing such duplicitous attitude from sponsors here while judging poems. You know something? I've learnt long back to grow a thicker skin and receive all my NAs with a smile....lol...~ Ani

"pistachio thoughts of my reasoning", "inspiring pearls of perception", "lilac dreams of love and peace" - You have a very beautifully convincing way of writing. This too is great work.

Oh my, the imagery and metaphorical wordsmithery here has truly captivated my soul! Your words flow in the most enchanting way, weaving very evocative depths in an artistic manner.. Your use of alliteration, metaphors, various colours and impeccable diction has truly painted a tapestry, one to admire and adore! There are so many amazing lines here especially the ending where you said even through the fragile phases of life, the bud of life finds its sunshine and blooms in love, peace & optimism
