This post is inspired by Luisa Zambrotta’s invite for writing an acrostic poem on March.
In this part of the globe the month of March symbolises Spring. The touch of this heady but short-lived season is evident everywhere.
The bottlebrushes smile.
The roses intoxicate the breeze.
The Sada Bahaar (Evergreen) winks.
I am a gongoozler. My senses are inebriated by the overwhelming rush of colours – the headiness of floral charm.
Even the leaves have a glaze to them. The colour green has gathered shades hitherto unseen.
Marveling
At the splendour of
Rejuvenation
Call of Spring
Heralds hope…enchants!
Foot Note : Incidentally, I came upon the word Gongoozler which captures the simple act of standing around and observing things without doing much else — a slow, curious kind of attention that feels almost peaceful.
It is so me in this slim breath of time, I couldn’t but indulge in its aptness.
Enchanting is your poem. Indeedy. Happy Spring. Happy to walk in your area in the photos.
Gongoozle! I believe I’m one of them too. Thanks for the new word. Blessings.
