Mohan Chutani Poet Acrostic

Himalayas

Himalayas beckon everyone to come to its fold 
                       In as many seasons ‘n as many times ‘n still lust for more
                          Music, all four seasons, they continuously orchestrate
              A collage of fall colors adds beauty to its lakes, rivers and waterfalls
                   Legendary tales echo glories of gods in its valleys and peaks
          Abode heavenly it makes away from maddening crowd, a midst the clouds
              You fall in love with the simple and beautiful people of these hills that
                             Allow you not to miss your home sweet home while
                       Snow-capped peaks bring out grit ‘n courage of mountaineers
