English Poetry

Putting on a skin

parched,

to the pore

baked black.

Sand granule, prickly greens,

survey my fence.

My world now nestles amidst thorny shrubs

the moist green yard, ones

 my feet were let to play with the dews

sparkling on them,

mother’s voice ringing in the background

warning, all the while

of catching cold

and ginger tea being served to keep warm;

the clouds too seemed, to be hearing the call

yodeling together

 in foams.

Poor, feeble  sun fighting out a lost battle,

rains drum- beat the roof.

These are now excerpts from a fairy tale

 hiding and seeking between dreams

And watercolor days.

The rainbeat have lost their euphony

to the incessant horns, bullying

the little nerve left

in the buzzing,

ever expanding city.

 

Tropic of cancer

partitions my world

from that of my mother’s.

 

 I must reach home,

before

the ginger tea turns cold.

    As I read your poem, rain is actually drumming down and at this time of night, no horns, just rain drops, the beauty of the sound is amazing!
    The nostalgia so apparent in your poem. Beautiful!
