Anitha Jayasankar Poet Free verse

Just August

It's just August and I can't wait
to ramble with you through the countryside
that sparkles in a fresh glossy green cover;
After long spells of rain, the sun gently peeks out, 
and green leaves glisten in soft sunlight;
Aw the rain drops on large banana leaves
like beads of pearls strewn about, shining.

Valsa George August 14, 2022 at 11:50 PM "Aw the rain drops on large banana leaves like beads of pearls strewn about, shining". Lovely poem on the typical Kerala scene...after a rain. In Tamil nadu and Kerala, banana leaves delight the eyes with wobbly drops of rain, strewn over them. All the Best Ani.... Anitha Jayasankar August 15, 2022 at 7:24 AM So true dear Valsa... Yes, one is my root... (Kerala)... and the other one (Tamil Nadu) is where I was brought up from childhood... I love both the places... and yes, I always admire those large banana leaves, some even stoop down being so large, and of course anything in Nature is a delight to the eyes... Thank you so much for your inspiring words of appreciation to my poem.. Hugs... ~ Ani
