A Flower To Auroville Mother-38

Decorative Dahlia (Dahlia)

They all parade to my awe
Chamomile, Cosmos, crysanthemum, Zinnia..

I need to set my vision right
'Best is who? ' I'm to elucidate

In vain I accept my inability
As all are queens of high beauty

Wonder what to do..'step back? '
'No'..a command takes me aback

Dahlia, all beauties in one..
With all her sisters in a run

Dahlia, Queen of queens by norm
As if Sun himself in her form

A discus of plentiful florets
Glowing illumed on her face

Leafy bracts helping her throng
No doubt she can be head-strong

So, I declare Dahlia the best
Smile leafing from her tuberous root
