Perennial Poetry

Five Seasons’ Greetings From the moist ground, young seedlings emerge, And the prettiest of tulips and daffodils blossom; Fresh berries and cherries enjoy their prime,  As vibrance and lushness extend everywhere; Beautiful spring lovingly encapsulates one, In its pristine energy of rejuvenation. Summer sends the scorching Sun, Leading to beachy waves and memories of fun; Kids lining up at ice cream trucks for icy bites, All in all, enjoying the long holidays. Summer is hard but always memorable, For every summer has its own story to tell. Monsoon brings hearts to elation, As all pains are soothed to ease; Umbrellas and raincoats become steady companions, While soups and hot snacks make for soulful evenings. The sight, sound and smell of the rain  Perpetually bring relaxing comfort within. It’s the shedding season again; With the rustling of dry foliage and rustic hues, The earthy tones set mellow moods; Autumn exemplifies an essential transition, Reminding us that what is lost...

  Her When the whole world praises her beauty, Only she knows the stories behind her scars, The things she goes through quietly, And the days she feels like she’s put behind bars. Sometimes she fakes a smile, For the sake of her and everyone else; She is appreciated for her unprecedented style, But who cares about the things she never tells? She wears her heart on her sleeve, She undoubtedly is an admiration; But would anyone really believe The life she lives behind people’s perception? She cares and she loves, She offers endless support without hesitation; But she also cries and questions Her worthiness despite the external perfection. She knows her scars mark her stories, They make up who she is; Despite all her glories, There is always more to who she is. -Jaanvi Veluguleti

  ❄️ Wintery Mornings❄️ The pleasantness of dawn invites me, Long walks in the early hours entice me, Wintery morning’s cool breeze, Makes me feel so light and free. When people haven’t woken up yet, Half the world is asleep; In perfect glory, the day is set; I’ve never felt a calmness so deep. The fog sets up a lovely scene, Causing a little shiver in me; With my mind in peace and the land around me green, Surely there’s no other place I’d rather be. Freshness of my neighbour’s lilies, The smell of moist mud under my feet, Strolling on the sand and stones of the streets, I feel nature’s embrace so deep and so sweet. As the sun’s first rays touch me, Warmth rushes into my body; As the blessings of the morning dawn upon me, I feel the amount of strength and wisdom I embody. There’s just something about wintery mornings, Experience for yourself and see; You’ll enjoy the most exhilarating of mornings, So come on, unlock your peace with this golden key. - Jaanvi Veluguleti

Discovering Destinations🌄 Universe! Show me those places, Where no one has been before, Tell me, ’cause I want to explore, Are there still places humans have not touched? Let me leave everything and get on A magical journey to a land newfound; Then pause there, and let the beauty sink in; Feel in my veins, the pureness and the calmness of the wonder therein. It’s so gratifying to realise that There are places the world wants me to see; Asking me to unlock the gates, Then get in, and run, rent-free. I feel a welcome fuelled by warmth, By the elements of these spaces; Seeing these places, I revel in awe, That there’s no dearth in nature whatsoever. I think that lucky are those, Wise enough to relish such explorations; And experience the nature firsthand, What it’s like to be where no one has stepped before. There are always places no one’s been to before, Wait till you visit them, then you’ll be sure. You most certainly will be dazzled too, Thinking, “What took me so long to come to you...

🌈 Onset Of Gratitude🙏 Look around for yourself and see, In little things there is happiness. It doesn't matter even if you're weeping under a tree, There is always scope for gratefulness. It is human to have moments of grief and sadness, To feel sorry and to feel helpless. But it is also human to recognise the moments of joy amidst the hopelessness, To heal, and come back stronger from the darkness. It's better than a pill, it is pure magic; One who understands it, will never want for anything ever again. Gratitude is the saviour from the tragic; So be grateful, and you will be saved again, and again, and again. Be thankful that you are how you are, 'Cause mind you, it could've been worse; From reaping the results of gratitude, you are never too far; Just do it and witness the magic of the divine force. Be grateful that you are alive, And blessed to experience this beautiful life. Be thankful every moment, and you'll be assured to thrive; Gratitude is your sec...

  Lingering Landforms  🌲🌳🌴 In the woods, in a faraway land, Untouched by a human's hand, Stand tall, trees that provide the biggest haven, I'm sure you'll call it an Abode in Heaven. 🏜☀🐪🌵 In the distant desert, also termed the land of sand, You may wonder, but it too is a wonderland. Where else would you see the hottest Sun And get to see the Camel and the Cactus and learn? 🌊🌤 On the coastal shore, the blues of Heaven and Earth meet. The Sea's flowing water and the Sky's passing clouds greet, Oh they form the most spectacular hue! And make us admire them as if they are always new. ☁🌄🏔 The hills are calling out to you To see from their highlands a magnificent world view.
