DEEPAVALI

Marking the dawn of an auspicious day

Heralding the sun was something bright  

Blinding light like a thousand stars

Deafening noises resonating all around

 

For an hour (maybe slightly longer)

Abiding by the rules towards less pollution

In an endeavor to save the planet

We Indians came together on the festival of lights

 

A sight to cherish- people adorned in finery

Traditional clothes and shimmering jewelry

A treat to the taste buds – an assortment of sweets

A choice of savories adds to the flavor

 

A congregation of the family

To revel in the victory of good over evil

In modern days, the festivities continue

To MEET, To GREET and Best of all To EAT!

 

Wish You All a Very Happy Deepavali

  1. Sahana, I can see that you are adding new words to your vocabulary and that makes your poems quite unique for this age group. Also, I see a bold poetess in you who doesn’t worry about rhyming words and just shares the thoughts in the most elegant way you want. Be like this and don’t ever change.
