I started writing poems during the heights of the pandemic, along with the discovery and enrichment of my other hobbies - planting and cooking. It's just my way of coping up from the challenges that have brought about by the new normal.

I was inspired to write this poem when my friend gave me a small packet of saffron and asked me to put it in rice porridge and soups.

Saffron

Louma

Oh it just blooms for one week every year,

And only three stigma threads per flower,

While closed petals are still there protecting.

Which cures pre-menstrual syndrome issue,

And other properties to reduce depression. 

And now it's grown too in other countries.
