I went to the florist, <br />And asked for long lasting flowers. <br />He pulled out a bunch <br />And proudly said just arrived from <br />Bangalore. <br /> <br />I couldn’t believe what I saw, <br />Dainty petals colour of new born baby’s cheeks, <br />And inside lime green. <br /> <br />I picked the whole lot <br />And put them in a pot, <br />Every time I pass <br />I just have to pause. <br /> <br />They are still fresh after a week <br />As promised, <br />The colour scheme truly epitomises <br />The great artist at work. <br />I silently pay my <br />Obeisance.<br /><br />Mamta Agarwal<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/daisies-6/
