Atrocity on Flowers

Folder: 
Maunder

Start very clean,

Thick and thin- Wreak Havoc!

Beautiful scene need to win. Honestly

It is not a sin.

However

The cynics, forever complain

If not this, it is something else. Where

Are the perfumes from the flowers gone?

Looking beautiful, attractive in form-

Thanks to the research and development

Microbiology and gene manipulation-

They are prettier, nor for or against

There should be -- a space to rest.

Floral world fauna flatter fawn.

Disappointment- Business reign

Man and gain- Horticulture,

Exhibition- Society women

Special creations-

Coquette dainties

Present

Pleasant

Perfumeries- Each

Beauty a performance-

Smelling like a flower

Artificial scents- Spring,

Frog-prince, out of well-

Market place buy sell

Dual purpose- Passing

Flower shop; eyeing colourful;

Gone are the days gone with the wind.

Whiff in the air sniff could not. Done away

Essence natural fragrance, floral life a longer sustenance-

No smell in flowers mere mute objects- Magnificent redolence,

Memory lanes- Nostalgic search all in vain- We in hurts and our pains;

Iota of guilt? Lackadaisical response- Fleshy petal rest, only reminiscent-

Monster profits, lax human the precious plunder. Convenient preservation it is!

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Those days the flower shops were a wonder emanating fragrance but these days one can only get stinks.
