Full of leaves green
no space in between
the hibiscus plant as seen
looks gorgeous with a gleam.
It is in full bloom
the flowers red in groom
blossom with a liveliness
being so many and in a dense
They are dark and deep
grow they in heaps
being uncountable as they are
seem to be tender in a flair .
The red and green modulation
present a fascination
both not soft in their décor
very strong to the letter.
One fine morning to a shock
could it be one in a stock
the leaves have fallen
lay there trodden.
Being absolutely bare
as if ripped off by a tear
the plant looks desperate
being in a withered state.
The red and green solidarity
expose now a disparity
a bubbling enthusiasm felt
turns disenchanted under the belt.
The transitory deals of the day
be it in any transactions in play
reveal the impermanence subtly
both in nature and in life invariably .
