Pritha's Poem : A Reply To Spring In Cubbon Park- The Spring Song Festival

With violets and purples and pinks and reds
The flowers play holi above our heads

The grate of traffic, the thwack of tennis balls
Someone singing, discordant bird calls

Tall bamboo curtains like prophets of doom
Suddenly among the maddening bloom

Dodging dog poo, watching the sky
Eyeing that bit of muscular white thigh

In future years all this will bring
Home to me this psychedelic spring

But for this morning, we three
Fill our senses and enjoy the company

Written By Pritha Choudhuri
