Phantasmagoria of Vijay Pandit

P-lenipotentiary plumes of idyllic and quixotic art, H-e, In Land of Cockaigne, enchants a fairy’s heart. A-nd a gift, Glimpses of my village with “rosy dawns,” N-ay to hear “rooster calls,” “ruby skies,” to fawn. T-o a Flamingo, pink gentilities and regal, I revere A- lovely poet, full of grandeur — gentleman in the mirror. S-imulacrum, frowning face of frippery - no doubt M-ere pastiche, Vijay will not embrace; calls it out. A- Summer Rain, he will turn into a rowdy dance, G-lee of a family gathered, pets hide from nature’s lance. O-h how I miss you mourns through peace and quiet, R-aring to hear dogspeak in a dream; be not disquiet. I-n a Winter storm, he touches my heart with a haiku... A-nd after all, Vijay outshines many, a man of many hues. 1/5/2021 Contest: Capture The Essence Sponsor: Margarita Lillico Vijay’s poetry titles: 1.Phantasmagoria 2.Glimpses of my village rosy dawns, rooster calls, ruby skies 3.
