Poetry

1. WHEN SHE ARRIVED
When she arrived ; the cluster of fragrant flowers in the garden bent down in meek
submission,
When she arrived; the birds soaring high in the sky chirped all the more vociferously;
attempting to make their presence felt,
When she arrived; warm shivers ran down through the roots of colossal trees,
When she arrived; the minuscule rivulets in the river; rose up to become swirling
waves; in animated ecstasy,
When she arrived; feeble rays of the sun brilliantly shimmered; profoundly
illuminating the atmosphere,
When she arrived; the insipid blades of frigid grass stood up with exhilarated alacrity,
When she arrived; fleet footed squirrels in proximity gnawed more voraciously at the
nut trapped within their jaws,
When she arrived; puffs of lackadaisical clouds in the cosmos transited to tantalizing
black thunder,
When she arrived; the majestic peacock uninhibitedly spread its kingly feathers to a
complete blossom,
When she arrived; the reptiles slithered painstakingly emanating sizzling noises; on
the periphery of semi soaked ground,
When she arrived; the bees in their hives produced more honey than ever before;
inundating the still atmosphere with their incessant buzzing,
When she arrived; a plethora of frogs croaked loquaciously in the well; ostentatiously
expanding the yellow sacs inhabiting their body,
When she arrived; gloomy worms crawling through the bushes radiated a
resplendently brilliant shine,
When she arrived; the chameleon ebulliently changed its color; displaying shades of
mesmerizing vibrancy,
When she arrived; the multi-legged spider ran several paces faster in its silken web;
bustling to and fro to devour its imprisoned prey,

2. When she arrived; the pair of crimson crested parrots entwined their beaks in each
other; intractably refraining to separate themselves,
When she arrived; light complexioned leaves of the cactus converted to an alluring
sapphire,
When she arrived; scores of monkeys gyrated on the tree tops; frivolously tossing
succulent fruit on the earth,
When she arrived; all hatred circumventing the ambience was miraculously
transmuted into immortal love,
When she arrived; gods in the sky forgot to do their work; admiring the form they
had created in open mouthed consternation,
And when she arrived; I felt an insatiable urge to live; for the first time in my life felt
like a complete man.
