Sari Finesse

Chandelier earrings dangling
Golden bangles jingling
Thick long raven hair
Twisted and pinned in swirls
With ornate gold embellishment

Luxuriously wrapped
In silk and brocade
Lavish lengths
Of rich flamboyant colors

Parading effortlessly
Their exotic saris
Swaying in graceful rhythm
Gliding by on air

Such a pretty ode to a women in sari, ... me an Indian, i wear saris mostly. You have used beautiful words and given poetic feminine touch to a six yard piece of cloth. Loved it friend.

I am thinking of the beautiful world of India; and the Taj Mahal, and the exotic colors! Your imagery makes it real.

Ooooh-la-la! Such a vivid description. Street scene come alive! (Takes me right to the Indian neighborhood's commercial strip, a mere 3/4 mile from my home). Bring on the Sari Palaces and Ghandi Electronics! Nicely done, Line. :) gw
