‘Tis the monsoon tropical spring
Pink and white florets suddenly appear
Myriad of colours in February
White, pink and dark pink blooms
of Tabebuia, Tecoma or Trumpet trees

Native to the American tropics
In stark contrast to the cloudless blue sky
‘Tis the season to admire the blooms
With the average temperature of 33°C

When blooms beckon in abundance
Temporary entertainment for the bloom lovers
With cameras and smartphones
Taking selfies and snapshots
To immortalize the short-lived springtime
