The Faded Floral Glory

The Kaas Pathar (Plateau) has

Genuinely been declared World

Heritage by the UNESCO, considering

Its 280 rare, unique wildflowers

And 850 vines, shrubs, plants,

Trees, species, wrapped under

Green-yellow leaves, every day

Blossoming white kumudini flower distinct

From usual Lotus, sprawling lake

Where the visitors were enchanted

With the atmosphere as if enjoying

Heavenly, beauty, tranquillity, solitude

Turned as they were awakened,

Ashamed of, hanging their heads

Under scorching sun as if were

Guilty of destroying millions of

pink floral extravaganza having

blue, yellow, white, purple

Straps spread on high and low

Being area, black stones, prominent

Photos of them made them exclaim

“Awesome, amazing wonderful marvellous”

They were relieved of the dejection

By the enthusiastic guide who

Led them to the eastern part

Of the plateau, that was full of

Small, dark green bushes, variety

Of tiny, colourful, different shape

Flowers bearing interesting local

Names such as Kavala(Crow),

Dhangar Pheta (Shepherd turban)

Mickey Mouse, which amused

The visitors more than the guides

The usual promise of the best flower

Harvest early next year.
