India is a land full of festivities,
Lots of relaxation to the Indians surely it gives-
Most of these are ceremony leaves -
Some are due to great men's deeds.

All direction does it cheer-East,West,North,South,
It fills with sweets every big and small mouth,
The year begins with the New Year,
Every...

rushes now the spill of feet
a lunar festival right nto moonlight
skirts flaring, hats flipping
as silhouettes swagger with desire
bosoms advancing retracting
against tunes from guitars and tambourine

slay this fiesta with quickening of heels
an extravaganza which shrieks
in the thrill of music
refined by the ecstasy reeled by
tiptoes midway...the exchanges

The summer brings out a multitude of things
   from blossoming trees to colourful flowers
       onto music festivals,glastonbury showers
         standing soaking dancing, but that all brings

Vibrant Festivals Of India ..... 


Colourful, bright, 
full of light ,
Lighting lamps, 
spreading colours,
flying a kite ,
reaching a new height,
What a tremendous sight!
Worshiping God Lakshmi's might .
Holi is Vibrant and colourful ,
In Diwali you 'd better be careful .
It may be lunch or dinner hospitality...

What a colourful land India is!
Various religions, faiths innumerous
Sometimes Christmas, sometimes Diwali
Sometimes Id, sometimes Baisakhi
Celebrating people
Happy, cheerful and hilarious
Unique celebrations
Grand receptions
Creating love and brotherhood
Zeal and livelihood
Every day seems new
Drenched with
Hearty feeling dew
May Lord! Grant her
Prosperity and endeavor
To mingle the whole humanity
Into one eternity
To colour every...

They billow just above that far hill
I think I see old Zeus peer out
    the piercing eyes    ulotrichous beard
        hair a roiling    wiry nest of whirls
Father of the universe

Glistening and gleaming

Bright eyes lighting up so wide

The innocence of children dreaming

About all the wonders that are inside

The ice sculptures coming together

With their carved out faces

For everyone to remember forever

The enchanting landscape places

This winter wonderland a paradise

A festival celebrating the snow

And all the slippery shapeable...

Festivals are celebrated
In grand feasts, a socialized and modified way
Only feasts are remembered
But 
Neither the interesting and mysterous stories or fairy tales
Nor the unique, strange, never-met ancestors
For they are too far away
To be understood
By the stonely hearts of this modern world...

Belgium All Star Festival
Variety of languages are being spoken
Church of Our Lady of Laeken smiles as she sees them gather
Across from her boats are being decorated for the festivities
We have the best festivals in the world, she thinks

Grand Palace would disagree.
She was haughty,...

September, November seasons refresh,
trees change their colour to wear a new dress,
Rub hands, mist in breath, colder evening walk,
leaves rustling under feet, stroll in the park!

oil wicks lighting up, every home and door,
little lamps on windows, add to decor,
late shops, busy crowds, fill Indian streets,
fire...
