I love this plant so much
Roselle jam if sweeten and cooked
down to a spreadable consistency
is similar to other fruit jam.
Roselle juice is a refreshing drink
made by the calyxes in water in water
and often sweeten to taste.
Roselle leaves a good dish for soup.
Roselle bark if dried and boiled is good for tea
Both are known for their vibrant red color
And tart, slightly floral flavor profile
Plus, they are rich in vitamin C and antioxidants
Offering potential health benefits.

A school in a village without any pastel –
Divine Child which never cares for riel
Strives for excellence. Does propel
The children upwards and rebel
Against injustice gigantic or sea shell;
Strives to let its stars and carvings excel
With the artistic hands of its roselle.
All play ups and disobeys did she quell
For all discourteous and insolent is knell.
Insurgencies and Illiteracy repel
As soon as they hear Divine’s yell.
She made IAS, engineer and Laurel
Who are shining brightly in parallel.
The capacity to write is more in noel
As during Christmas less is evil’s spell
And more golly and blimey impel.
She is still like a nice damoiselle
Not touched by corruption or rebel.
This is pond. In it many a Raphael
Have drowned to break a cell
From which brains emerged like sail
Which drove young minds to foretell
Their future. With Anandi ma’am’s spell
She still does prosper, flourish and excel.
