Many Plants Meet the Eyes

Many plants seen on pastures and gardens

Silvery ferns among the growing trees

With gorgeous blooms close to a power-plant

Plants on the shorelines, hillsides and mountain tops

Plants inside house, near bedrooms and windows

Plants everywhere, wherever eyes do roam

Behold! Those climbing plants on trellis walls

Others carpet the grounds; others would stand

On giant feet, with aging beauty pine

Some plants do germinate from seeds and cuts

From hybrid species; glitzy blooms they come

To stretch botany rules to newer heights.

Some plants have berries, juicy fruits and scents

So busy bees make honey-cones which flow

From flowers’ soul, this sweet viscous we love

Plants like peat, compost, water and mild heat;

They vegetate too long before summer;

Then with springing eyes, they show true nature.

Behold! Those plants they perch on windowsills;

Their chlorophyll sacs full from driving sun;

Hey look! They beam with deep verdant colors.

Some plants are edible others are not

Some grow in fields, churchyards, beaches and parks

Evoking thoughts in minds they saturate

Imagine now! A world devoid of plants

For sure, on earth, all life would dissipate

And where would fragrances abound to smell
