! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! At Crack Of Dawn...! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Rating: 2.5


Through chinks in roman blinds, I wake and see
Its dawn, stretch out my hand for the remote;
Switch off air conditioner, jarring sound
Drowned the musical notes of flitting birds,

And the song of first pre monsoon showers
All summer, I had waited and longed to hear.
Languorously inhaled the soft fragrance
Of the now wet earth, that stirred up per chance

A longing for you; just then mobile rings,
I laughed out loud and said, great timing!
Perplexed, you asked, tell me, what I did now.
Oh, you just caught me red handed, somehow…

After a shower, hair wrapped in a towel,
Stepped into the kitchen, to make waffles.
Your parting shot, woman- a mystery
Tickled, I quite relished my coquetry.

Poetry lies hidden in our daily existence which we take rather casually and for granted. The poet's tender touch raise them to eloquent and lyrical heights! 10! -Raj Nandy
