A flower with petals in multiples of twenty,

Has been around since decades a plenty,

Blooms in over five hundred variations,

Slows aging and its degeneration,

Prolongs life in ethereal state,

Few colours look like simple daisies,

But wedged leaves gives away its fate,

Some use it to sooth eye allergies,

Affected by bugs and scales umpteen,

Symbolic to death, adversity or honesty,

Beliefs of the land, from where it comes,

The many faces of chrysanthemum.

From living in rented house, To decorating your own home, Form airing your grouse, To all the cites you roam, From trying out different dishes, To making some one wishes, Tasks that are simple all alone, But together the monotone is gone. From silent screams, To realizing your dreams, From painful precipitation, To graceful appreciation, From feeding the downtroden will, To bow to humble and patient skill, A journey stared as two sides of the waterway, Now create ripples together in a placid bay. Each being has a set of likes and dislikes, Together time blunted the harsh spikes, Each soul has a unique goal, Years later there are stories to be told, Each had friends that sat around in circle, Now chatter among other that fit dual cubicle, I became we, in way all could see,  In each other's company time and mind runs free.
Oh! Parrot with its beak so red, How did you colour your wing instead? Did you tip over a paint can? Did the forest fairies blow red fan?   Were you pecking at plums from Nepal? Were you mingling with the oak’s leaves, that fall? Have you been eating chillies over ripe? Or is it you’re not do invisible cape,   What ever the reason may be! For the red streak in your glide, It plants a smile in other bird’s beak, Making soaring in the sky a jovial ride.
  Elegant and composed,  Takes a lot to get deposed, Blooms that cheer a million faces,  Roses thrived through many ages. A multi layered focus, Around core of tough hub,  A colourful defense for a locus, That withstands any snub. Hardy as they seems to be,  Roses wilt away in adversity,  All its thorny persona cannot repel, The collective cynicism world expel. A rosy coating for every adversity, A petaled covering for any hostility, Gives life a chance to win,  A reason to smile from within.
