A Flower To Auroville Mother-81
Lobster claw(Hanging heliconia
Heliconia rostrata)
But in Nature while others
Rounded, trumpeted, rayed
Else common shapes shaped
Strange how you're all claws
Or say clawed tassles rich
Green and gold and red hues
Wonder heavenly smith whose
Art artly hand did so such
Majeatic you stand elegant
With pendulous painted claws
A lobster a sentinel's part
Amid the plantainlike leaves
You make me proud o'flower
Taller in pride and prestige
Beauteous display all over
Will my garden defy as much?
