Poem
A family photo session at home Covid19 LockDown from the following day Wavelets of domestic jubilation Daffodils beside the sea you may say From a newspaper made bag she brought out Handed him the fresh yellow banana Patches of soot and dirt on the smooth skin Palm and fingers of the domestic aid A forty-something diligent woman Multitasking, as a cook and helper Oblique glances mailing little letters Making fruit salad with a blooming smile The brimming moments changed in a moment Physics into ripples of chemistry A lilac lone time in a crowded time A whispering breeze in the clueless chime Heavy boughs from the laden yellow tree Gapless closeness of the duck to water Compulsive current in the hilly creeks Banana soot and dirt turn enchanting Inside the swollen grapevine of the park Busy fingers and crazy toes at play Sunlight and darkness kept fighting in vain Bubbles from the ocean bottom prevailed No brake in the instinctive gondola The boy and girl in a dizzying high Musky smell painting the hunting tigers Perpendiculars and horizontals In the cloud nine the developing chasm In each atom the dance of micro spasm A catharsis of stone age protoplasm Golden wheat field dancing with the peacocks From base to crest building up the charges From wave to wave rushing the blue surges From shore to shore crushing the pink ocean From zero to absolute explosion Overwhelmed I looked and looked at the sea A wafting flavour of Darjeeling tea A witness to the bliss of melting snows Yes, "I think I know why the ocean flows" ________________________________________ 22 April 2020 Poetic lines from a Poetry Soup poet - Vijay Pandit Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Silent One Note: the last line within the inverted commas are from the poet Vijay Pandit's poem : I think I know why the ocean flows
