poetry is nature
dancing with mind
a verse would sprint out
like the most colourful bird
from a bush completely unexpected
throwing a feast to our eyes

we cannot but oblige with
another verse getting deep
into ourselves for a riveting repartee
to complete the challenge thrown at us

like a flower, the poem blooms

out of our faintest expectation
nature might throw another verse
to carry us through its evolution game
the blossoming of the mind

this goes on and on until nature
derives the stamp of a mind
working towards its plan

a poem is nature flowering in words
