Day After
Folder:
bishupoetry Cobwebs strung on the verandah grill
Unwashed pots and pans -- last night's dinner
Garbage bin stashed with peels and skins
Sparrows pecking at leftovers on the dining table
Crows cawing deafeningly-- frustrated,denied entry
Burnt cigarette butts in the overflowing ash-tray
Empty liquor bottle ------ pungent stench
Dinner-mates sprawled on unmade beds
Stained with grease and sauce- the tablecloth
Strewn on the table a deck of cards,cellphones
Chicken curry , half-eaten wings,legs
Numbed with liquor,tobacco and food
Poetry! What's that ? Revellers were in no mood

Thankyou for the reminder of
Thankyou for the reminder of the "Morning After". It's comforting to know they are the same all over the world regardless of different cultures.
On the occasion of my next morning after, I shall remember your words and smile, no matter the tasks before me.

Quite an unhealthy environment for good living but an exciting place for hooligans! Well portrayed. Fine in vocabulary and expression. Great.
