Floral Week

Aficionado’s Find

A poem to welcome the second half of 2020 with hope

Parachutes. Aficionado’s find. Acquired taste. True beauty only can be found in eyes of beholders

The poet Tapan Avasthi inspired this poem. He said that in India, guests are welcomed with flower garlands, and prompts us poets to welcome the second half of 2020, a year that has seen so much tragedy, with a garland of floral poetry of hope. I like that idea. So, for the first seven days of July, I’m sharing flower power poetry in #floralweek. Are you in? If you want to join in, follow the guidelines beneath this poem by Tapan:
