The Gulmohar Tree <br /> <br /> Every year from April to June <br /> The gulmohar tree is in full bloom. <br /> This majestic site is so very dear, <br /> I wait for this time every year. <br /> Its slender green leaves of verdant green, <br /> Enhances the beauty of the scene. <br /> The bright red petals of this Peacock Flower <br /> Sets the tree all on fire! <br /> Once I saw a grand vista of these <br /> Lining the road of an embassy. <br /> Such a glorious, flamboyant site, <br /> Made me hold my breath a while. <br /> So if you ever get a chance to see <br /> You will never regret the gulmohar tree. <br /> <br /> Raj Nandy <br /> New Delhi <br /> 23 April 07<br /><br />RAJ NANDY<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-gulmohar-tree/
