Ooty

NafisaSB

The ‘Blue Mountain’ snaked its way through the mountains low and high

And beauteous scenery seen around, evoked many a joyful cry

Mountains clouded in mist, and rivers meandering on their way

Were seen and appraised, as also the waterfall showering spray

Tall eucalyptus trees stood majestically, and were a feast for the eyes

On seeing them, there were many exclamations and sighs

For the scene was such, and the day so bright

That everyone felt like hiking in the bright summer light

On the mountains and in the valleys that were spread around

For well did we all know, that such beauty is rarely found..

Wild flowers grew in abundance, and were a lovely sight

Many of them were rare, and only some were trite

The roads that lay beneath us were lovely to behold

The dried leaves on the ground looked like leaves made of gold

Everything was splendid, even the far-away toy like homes

The horses and grazing cows looked like little dwarfs and gnomes

The panorama was magnificent – it was truly a work of art

It left a deep imprint on each and every heart.

    'The panorama was magnificent – it was truly a work of art'..
    like your words..
    (I read and simply close my eyes and drift
    and drift
    between your syllables, feel
    life's breeze
    in a room with closed windows
    delighting, once more
    in Nature's gifts..)
    thank you! dear Poet
    so well written

      'blue mountain' is the toy train operating there when i last visited ooty many years back. but the place is still extremely lovely to behold, and my words are inadequate to describe its beauty.

      have a good day - nafisa
