PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Early morning warm sun of winter

Splashed on mustard oil messaged body

Risen sun gently comforting releasing stress

Sweet tea in an earthen cup- steaming,inviting

Lazily watching the ripples on the muddy Ganga

The short white dhoti and red checked "gamcha"

Squatting before the friendly barber for a shave

A refreshing dip in the river water

Donning trousers and a shirt ,rubber 'chappals'

Tram car wooden seat slowly meandering

Home-- white washed walls ,a 'Kali's' calendar

Lighting an incense stick .....  sweet aroma

Unhurriedly walking to the nearby vegetable market

A slice of pumpkin,few potatoes,spinach,a brinjal

A couple of tomatoes,a tiny bunch of coriander leaves

Lunch..steaming rice,spinach curry,dal,tomato chutney

Post lunch siesta two hours long

Lulled by a radio singing a song

Sun grows dim,  evening descends......

A hot cup of fresh brewed tea with roadside fries

These are simple pleasures to enjoy ere time flies
