From my terrace
Two Wild Catkins
They had sprouted in a place they were not meant to be
An empty flower pot in a lavish garden
And it wasn't at all a welcoming place
For untamed flowers that didn't curtsy.
But they were strong, bold and determined
And so they grew with their heads held high
Stubborn and fearless!
With passion that was wild.
Though they knew their time was limited
As soon, they would get uprooted,
For the garden was no place for two wild Catkins,
Nor were their spirits meant to be prisoners in a pot.
And so they waited,
And so they fought!
To live for their undying love,
Until their souls were set free!

I love the wildness of untamed flowers and these Catkins have a passion all of their own. There is a real sense to escape in this lovely poem Farah which I enjoyed reading.

Beautiful poem Farah. I especially loved the second last stanza. So well written. I appreciate that you chose catkins as a subject.

These two Catkins or Kashful, as we call them in Bangla, actually grew in my garden...haha and thus they were the chosen ones! In this season we have quite a lot of these growing in empty fields. They turn entire fields in whites! It is strange that these two decided to grow in my flower pot! I am so glad you liked it, John. Thank you so much for your support and appreciation.Bless you!
