Thanks a lot , Vandana, Sandip and Ranu Jain for your comments. I too love the vivid imagery of 'violet worlds'.
Lovely imagery! The violet hydrangea in my garden will now always remind me of this ku.
Absolutely stunning! You've created such a powerful image with so few words. The phrase 'violet worlds' really captures the imagination, it's so vivid and dreamlike.
Lovely poem! The imagery is very vivid.
I take it as the healing power of nature.
It has happened to me a lot many times that when I’m feeling down, the sight of a new blooming flower, or a colourful bird or even a new tomato on my tomato plant cheers me up. Nature does save you from drowning.
