Childhood Summer Album

Since my childhood, I love summer It wakes up in me a dreamer. The luring bells of the ice-cream seller, Made me gaze for him at the street corner Till noon, across the fields, used to wiggle Enjoy lunch with granny’s spicy mango pickle Sidling along the rows of swishing trees Running after humming dragon- flies Picking plums tactfully from thorny bushes Wondering in the widespread lushes Rolling on the dunes of soft sands At tranquil brook, collecting shiny shells Dancing merrily in pre-monsoon rains Vying with friends for the white balls of hailstones Sleeping in the midst of the lawn Enjoying the sweet breezes of Night queen Listening to the epic stories of mom Under the canopy of stars that gleam Eyes running through the maze of stars Drooping slowly into deep slumbers The Good Old Days Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Mystic Rose Rose Date: 16-01-2021 won: 8th position
