Nila Sampangi(Rajanigandha, Mexican tuberose, Polianthes tuberosa)
Those are the icy drizzles of mount Kailash
All the snowy flora-fragrance on earth
A mystery-blossom in silent hush of a swash
NilaSampangi, such one is you of great mirth
What if I say you're spiked..it's just true
Supported bulbed to spread and blossom
Long leafy perinnial spiked only to accrue
Sacred chaplets penta-poly-petaled festive awesome
