Poem: Estate ...sneak previews to my upcoming book contd.!

By V. Shruti Devi (quill-o-the-wisp)

Estate (written in Acrostic style with alliterative inputs)

Larkspurs layered and swayed in the lull

Oriole, a golden oriole, and on a mag with the legend, 

                                                Friend Request, an Owl

Delhi deewane, O, in Lutyens’ zone we did dwell

Irises, iconic flora, avians intel

 

Eagles, enigmas (invisible stars), the odd egret, euphorbias

Spinach, starfish, aquarium-creatures, sparrows, squirrels,

Tall trees, termites, clipped grass, hollyhocks, phlox, peacocks 

                                                                                                trending

Aloe vera, araucaria, asparagus, astounding aura, never-ending

Tip-toeing feline, bees in a beeline, tomatoes and tea-time

Endgame: Eureka! Bird-baths, grains, -the mains! Earth Empire
