A Flower To Auroville Mother-58
Kasithumbai, Balsam
(Garden balsam, Spotted snapweed,
Impatiens balsamina)
Impatient you..yes, forsaken yourself
Long back from my garden to far off
Impatient me..yes, searching for long
Balsamina, you back in garden to throng
You've gone far and farther variously
A confusion of names extravagantly
Impatiens invariably but to me else
Kasithumbai, unforgettable in chimes
Single and double, cute and elegant
Blossoms with leaves lancelike
Fallen seeds in cycles to sprout
Kashmir to Cape comorin pooja alike
Now should you comprehend and return
Happy more so, if possibly can ingest
All Balsaminaceae here steady and stern
Welcome Impatiens, your zest I suggest
