Kash Poet Poet Pantoum

City of Joy,Kolkata,6 Pm

Gradually she changes her dress
at the end of this winter day
like a beautiful stage actress
preparing herself for a play.

At the end of this winter day
City of Joy as she is called
preparing herself for a play
diamond petals slowly unfurled.

City of Joy as she is called
wearing her glittering ornaments
diamond petals slowly unfurled
blooming like a rose God sent.

Wearing her glittering ornaments
anklet to bracelet of lights
blooming like a rose God sent
waiting for visitors of night.

Anklet to bracelet of lights
Howrah Bridge is her necklace
waiting for visitors of night
checks her face on the Ganges.

Howrah Bridge is her necklace
like a beautiful stage actress
checks her face on the Ganges
gradually she changes her dress.
