Flowering in Words a Poem

One will always be surprised at how one's poem is accepted by readers.
There are poems which I love very much but which readers do not even notice while there are poems which somehow become very popular.

I love this poem but when I posted it on the net, it did not get as much good response like the others.

Enjoy:

Flowering in Words
------------------------
poetry is nature
dancing with mind
a verse would sprint out
like the most colourful bird
from a bush completely unexpected
throwing a feast to our eyes

we cannot but oblige with
another verse going deep into
ourselves for a riveting repartee
to complete the challenge thrown to us

like a flower, the poem slowly blooms

out of our faintest expectation
nature might throw another verse
a la a fish jumping out of water
to carry us through an evolution game
the blossoming of the mind

this goes on and on until nature
derives the stamp of a mind
working towards its plan

a poem is nature flowering in words
