Chilli

A seed of chilli fruit grew up as an amazing plant

My garden has a new guest
It has seized our normal rest

It is a wonderful chilli plant
Sprouting from a seed it grew so smart

Saw a tiny green baby in the pot
Then magics happened on the spot

Branches came as quick surprise
Green leaves reached full size

Cleaned the weeds by manual toil
Supplied manures to the barren soil

Leaves glittered as we sprayed water
Applied some egg shell powder

Checked the plant for any bug
Sunshine and air gave their hug

Small buds peeped on the stems
They formed flowers like white gems

Suddenly we saw a chilly fruit
It hang among leaves and shoot

The chilli plant is a great treasure
We immensely enjoy  divine pleasure

cute poem zainul...this reminds me of my tomato plants...the squirrels were eating them so my son said to put cayenne pepper on them so I did...he said the squirrels wouldnt eat them...but I got up the next morning and my tomatoes were all gone...they loved the cayenne pepper.. ha..

[zainul]

Thank you for such a lovely review and wonderful information.
I can imagine the beauty of plundering of your tomato by squirrel.
Sorry,that you had a bad experience.
But,this is a great discovery that squirrels loved the cayenne pepper.
Thanks for sharing :)

[DIVYA]

You narrated the entire story of the birth of a tiny plant to it's fruition with such flair. Only a true nature-lover could have told this tale so beautifully! My compliments sir!

[zainul]

Thank you Divya for the heartening comments and wonderful review.
I am very pleased that you could discover a nature-lover in me.
I am gladly accepting your compliments.
I feel very blessed by your kind favor.

I like this poem. Simple and yet it paints a lovely picture in one's mind. Good work! :D

[zainul]

Thank you Charms for the very inspiring review.
Thanks for stopping by :D

[Charms]

My pleasure. I love to see new writing styles and how it differs from my own. :) This is truly a refreshing piece.

[zainul]

This is all my pleasure too :)

An interesting write from you, Zainul.

Very much enjoyed reading it. Well done!

[zainul]

Thank you Sye for stopping by to grace this piece.
I am very pleased to know that you enjoyed it very much.

[s y e]

You're welcome.
It was great ;-)

[Michael G.]

It is a very pretty plant, also. I've grown several varieties of chilli plants.
Wonderful write, Zainul.

[zainul]

Thank you Michael for your admiring review.
I am very happy to learn that you have grown several varieties of chilli plants.
Which varieties are most popular in your area?

[Michael G.]

Here, almost any chilli will grow. Some for the heat are nice. They are all pretty in their color though.

[zainul]

That's really great.
Personally,I can't tolerate very hot chill.
But,I can't live without too.
How do you enjoy taking them?

[Michael G.]

I like the heat at times. Other times, not so much!

[zainul]

Thanks for sharing.

[Reeti]

The art of gardening this is! You've shown the steps of growth precisely while accentuating the poem with the rhyming sequence and simplicity.
Is it a "bombay chilli" plant, by the way? =P

[zainul]

Thank you Reeti for glorifying my evening with your sweet smile.
I am very happy with your amazing review.
I am not yet sure about the variety of the chilli.
I will let you know what it is actually.
Do you love "bombay chilli" ?

[Reeti]

You're welcome. =)

No, i don't really love "bombay chilli". I don't fancy food which tends to singe my taste buds.

I had responded earlier actually, but may be the network was not functioning well back then.

[zainul]

Thanks dear friend for sharing your personal liking.
I am not sure about your location in Dhaka.
You might know one artist of Dhaka Art College,a Chakma girl who was a very talented artist.
I was told by some friends that she regularly consumed lots of dried chillies after frying in oil and that excesses took her life.She died prematurely.
How would you like others taking volumes of chillies?

[Reeti]

I live in Niketan with my brother and father at the moment. Sorry, I haven't heard of that lamentable piece of news until you told me. Anything in excess is inimical. We should learn to know both our corporal and mental capacities.

[zainul]

Thanks for sharing,Reeti.
Yes any excess is inimical.
You have nicely pointed about excesses.
Yes,we should learn to know both our corporal and mental capacities.
I aspire to enjoy a tea party with the Bangladeshi writers of WC.
How do you like this idea?

[Constance Payne]

This makes me think of the "Medusa Pepper" plant. It get the tiniest of white flowers prior to putting on fruit then upon maturation the fruit turns from green to purple; beautifully colorful plant as they do not all turn together.

I am so ready for spring and planing season.

Beautifully written

[zainul]

Thank you for sharing such nice information.
I am impressed by the photos of Medusa Pepper.read moreThank you for sharing such nice information.
I am impressed by the photos of Medusa Pepper.
I knew from the web that it is not hot.
Really, it is very nice.
Hope you will enjoy the spring and the planting season.

[Constance Payne]

My husband grew one last year, it was hot enough to may you sweat. Ghost Peppers are the hottest as far as I am aware. If you are looking for heat...

[zainul]

Thanks for the information.
I knew from the net that this variety was not hot.
The information on the net is not always correct.
Yes,Ghost Peppers are the hottest.

a garden is a vast treasure of surprises and mysteries. some revealed quickly, others slowly. asparagus takes two years to mature. this is a delightful foray into the world of horticulture. nicely done!

[zainul]

Thank you for sharing great information about the vast treasure of surprises and mysteries of a garden.I love asparagus.But,I could not observe its life cycle closely.
I have observed life cycles of flowers and vegetables very closely and I agree with you that this is a delightful foray into the world of horticulture.
Enjoyed your precious contributions.

[Sarah Marie]

This had me smiling all the way through... :) I love how personal and endearing the descriptions are and that the reader gets to know this plant from seed to sprout! Watching life of every kind is such an enjoyable journey.

[zainul]

Really,Sarah you are very correct.You have shared a great point that watching life of every kind is such an enjoyable journey.I feel very blessed that such wonderful points are being discussed here.It has turned out to be a useful forum.

Nice. I love watching plants grow. They start out so small. And then they grow so big. It's nice to watch. The most rewarding for me would be a tree. Where I live the wind gets crazy, so any baby trees we plant get uprooted and they die. So the ones that actually do grow fully are the ones that are powerful; and they will outlive me. Trees, closest thing to immortality in my opinion. Lovely poem, Zainul :)

[zainul]

Your concept about watching tree to grow is really very interesting.
I am enjoying its benefit.Yes,wind and other adverse factors limit the fate of a tree.A tree outlives the person who planted it.Thus we may conclude that a tree
is a memorial.
I am very pleased to read your precious contribution :)

[char]

A memorial..I never thought about a tree being one. That is also interesting.

[zainul]

When you see an old fruit or flower plant in a garden,there may be somebody around to tell you that the plant was planted by a particular person.Is not it?
This is how a tree becomes a memorial for a person who planted it.
Thanks for stopping by again.

[char]

I feel this as a poem. Do you?

[zainul]

Yea,I do.
Thanks a lot,dear friend.

[poetry-kiddo alienbaba]

Nice to look....
but take care ...if it turns out to be a ..
BHOOTH JHOLOKA

[zainul]

Thanks for the precious suggestion.
I am closely observing the plant.
If it turns out to be a BHOOTH JHOLOKA I will take appropriate measure.

[poetry-kiddo alienbaba]

Hottest chillli in the world...originates in nepal...illegal to possess and grow...as just a pinch is enough to make curry for 100 people

[zainul]
