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
In exquisite hues 
And charms of opulence

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.

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
