PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Feverish excitement - hope adorning the mundane soul

A whole year waiting waiting for the four coloured days

Coloured with love,affection,regards,reverence

The festive season approaches; we'll remember always

A brightly coloured frock; those fairy-tale knickers

That shiny black plastic belt...... hope flickers

Petty squabbles take backstage; hope reigns supreme

Buying the perfumed talc and the fairness cream

Mud from mother earth , the bamboo , the straw

Artists spend sleepless nights try to draw

Draw the shape of happiness ; shape the shelter

Once the fesival is over all will go helter skelter

Be it the ragpicker, rickshaw puller, veggie vendor

Moneyed men,silk-shine ladies,children

Try to pull on some new clothes .. ah ! those days

Are all these I ponder.. a slice of heaven?
