    The poem describes an ordinary Laburnum tree that stands alone in a neighborhood. During the summer, the tree transforms from mundane to dazzling, covered in golden flowers. Its petals drift through the breeze, bringing pleasure to people like a poor beggar who momentarily forgets his sorrows. Though a common sight, the tree in summer cannot be bought and brings joy to all who see it.

    THE LABURNUM – Meera Uberoi

    [SUMMARY]
    Central Theme of the Poem:-
    The Laburnum is an ordinary tree that stands alone in the corner of the
    neighbourhood where the poet Meera Uberoi resides.

    The tree looks rather unremarkable and ordinary. In fact, it is a very common
    sight just like the cawing crows, but unlike the birds it stands quite and remains
    unnoticed most of the time.

    But as the summer months come, the very mundane and ordinary tree is
    transformed into a dazzling, golden and spendid tree, covered with flowers of
    sunshine. Even a small puff of breeze drops topaz coloured or gold petals on
    passersby.

    It is a sight to behold. Even the poor beggar cannot help but smile foregtting
    momentarily his sorrows and delighting in the charming scene infront of him. The
    view brings pleasure to all and sundry and it remains so as it cannot be bought
    through monetary exchange.
