A scene I happened to notice in the morning, an almond tree in the neighborhood, all its leaves are pink and red in color. It is the only tree standing out among others,it looked very bright.Icompare it to a young bride in this season of spring.

Spring is on and the foliage on this tree Showered over with pink red leaves Seems like many almond eyes ‘Gorgeous as an Indian bride Dressed in vivid colours, A superb display in glamour The anointing charm of this beautiful wild almond tree Among other trees exuding its oily fragrance Waiting for the most auspicious time When Light, the knight in bright armour alights To hold the lovely fluttering leaves Loud , noisy, cheerful and happy Bright and warm in gay abandon Handsome rays piercing like fire To see her glow with desire The dew drops bathe her soft folds quietly The wind waves where wetness holds Nature watches with a smile The freshness of spring newly worn Tidings of celebrations soon go on The glory of a marriage in nature Bring romance in the air to nurture Blushing nut tree blissfully bows willingly Sunrays dance and winds whistle loudly To welcome yet another new bride proudly J K Roseline

The comparison is beautifully true. The young woman in the springtime of her life blossoming forth in a radiant sari is like the birth of new leaves and blossoms in the spring. A wonderful picture beautifully portrayed in the poem.

Thanks for the review Robert and for the details you have mentioned. I understand this tree in my picture is a kind of almond tree which is exclusively planted all over Mumbai and is known as badam tree. The scenery in this picture is just by the roadside. It is near a temple in Marve village which is a very old settlement and the settlers are known as East Indians in Marve,Malad Mumbai. J roseline

I never knwew that red was considered a wedding color in India. Right now spring sounds great for me. Being in the depths of winter here in the great midwest of the states, any hint of spring is welcome. An unusually cold and snowy winter we're having. Your words bring spring a little closer in the minds eye. I have been looking at the photograph you're displaying with this and that tree looks just like what we call a red bud tree. I have one in my yard and admire the pink going to red of the early spring that the tree displays. I dug mine up as a wild sappling several years ago. I never realized that there were more of the same type in India. If you walk around near the tree, if it is truly the same, then there are probably small sapplings beginning to bloom from the tree. If it is the same tree then you dig about a foot around and a foot down. The root system spreads out quite a ways from it. Never plant it around potentially taller trees so that it can get plenty of sunlight. It's truly a great tree. Thank you again for this picture of spring J. Bob

Must have been written some time ago when spring was in the air. It is in the air here in the swamp today too. The sun is shining brightly and it is seventy-one degrees. I enjoyed the poem and your idea of writing of the tree as though it was a woman.
