The Cotton Tree

by Dr. Sunil Sharma

It stands out
Amid other trees,
Alone,
Distinguished,
In this season of
Some flowering,
Some totally bare trees;
Attracting attention of an alert
Passerby, instantly
To that white tree;
The fluffy pods
Looking like puffed-up ice-balls
Stuck up delicately,
On the brown rugged branches,
Like tempting candy;
The bright flowers,
Creating a falling stream
Of pure, soothing snow,
On this hot day of
Early summer,
Near hectic Mumbai.

Nice poem Sunil ji. Where sight and sound matters, utility takes back seat.Yet, silently go on the serving sages.regards.

Beautifully flowing poem!! Especially liked the lines:

Creating a falling stream
Of pure, soothing snow,
On this hot day of
Early summer,
