Today marks the beginning of Spring season and is called Basant Panchimi.It is a very auspicious day marked by celebrations. People wear yellow clothes and welcome spring. It is also the feast of Goddess Sarasvati who is the daughter of Lord Shiva and Goddess Durga. Hindus offer prayers to this Goddess Sarasvati as she is believed to have endowed human beings the ability of language, wisdom, knowledge, learning, all art forms as well as music. Many centres of learning and art centres perform rituals of prayers to offer to this deity on this day. In my poem I wish to welcome the Spring season and its hues for the bounty of natural yields of mother nature during this time.

The alluring mustard fields in Spring Another new month greeted green fields afresh Fine rays of the sun filter through golden yields Seeping through veins of leaves waving in the air Tender spinach rich, bright and green exude Gracefully stand to be picked and savoured The fullness of aubergines Swelling purple delights Tomatoes shining striking red Peer out from bushes small The slithering lengths of snake gourds, Display its prowess to crawl Rotund rounded yellow pumpkins Sit blinking in the field from vines Sweet peas like pearls in oyster shell covers Bursting full pods dangle in air The sweet corn cobs akin yellow sapphires Absorbing colours from the sun Mustard flower clusters in yellow beds glitter The coloured fields reaching far and wide, Miles and miles across Like pecks of flame arising In the green lands appear Butterflies hasten to have its share Of a season celebrating vibrant colours Yellow, for renewal, love and hope Along with rich pink hues in sky The accomplishment of song and dance For a joyous setting of a fine mood The earth’s bountiful offer of full blooms For the splendid Spring season is here J K Roseline

Beautiful, sweet friend. Your descriptions make it easy to see. I particularly love the last two lines.

A fabulous informative and beautiful poem. I had always thought yellow meant true love in a rose. Maybe that is from the Victorian age. I liked the yellow in this!

Spring starts early in India. Your verses tell of its splendor. I have heard that India has started to reject genetically modified seeds because they have caused many problems for farmers, many of who have committed suicide over crop failure. I sure hope that where you are big corporations haven't made your spring somewhat sour.

Yes indeed, I think everyone here in the states will welcome with open arm the dawning of spring.
