Poet : Jotsna Jari

We friends and relatives
walked step by step
and came to own house.
.
When rainbow colored sky
is overhead...
After mixing the chili & salt with rice
Grandmother just calls to eat.
.
We friends and relatives
eat a plate of rice together.
We sit on the raft of banana leaves
we just sing with our hearts out.
.
We friends and relatives
live in the hostel
We feel a lot of things
yet so much remains.
.
Leaving the bounds of the rules
we turn here & there
Sometimes with reel in hand
we fly kites around the field.
.
Mother says angrily
Oh, you are crazy & mischievous
Grandfather smiles with toothless face
then he pulls the snuff into nose.
.
Hey listen,
here is such a funny country
Wren drango, wagtail, martin, parakeet
all birds dance on the tree branch.
.
If you want to come to this village
go to Google Maps
Find me...
by the small village river.
.
The firefly lights up at night
on the high branch of bamboo garden
Come here, see all these scenes
by hand in hand.
.
In my small golden village
on the narrow way
How many stories happen
every day...
.
