Arts And Tradition Poem by Tirupathi Chandrupatla

Classic dances
Of India
From south
And north
Are exquisite
To watch
And a delight
To enjoy.

Had a chance
One evening
To watch
In an underground theater
An eye-pleasing
Fusion
Of south Indian
Dances.

Kathakali's
Colorful
Mohiniyattam's
Enchanting
Bharatanatyam and Kuchipudi
Equally fascinating
The fusion
Exquisitely blended.

Artists' agility's
Amazing
Their expressions
Fascinating
All movements
Rhythmic
Synchronizing with
Melodious music
Mind and body
Captivated
Time lost in
Land of dreams.

Our own arts are
Dwellings of reverence
Great traditions
To retain
Prestigious heritages
To protect
Let's pledge
Our support
Let our life
Be worthy of living.
