The dentist's voice echoed
from the valley of bicuspid.
Unseen, insignificant roots
that held ground so far,
Vanished in a gory grove.
Now cement shall stay
where senses once prevailed,
capped with a golden crown.
I remember those grains
of sand that shone in the vast
desert, till dunes gave way
to fancy foundations.
Helpless cactus plant, stares at its
reflection in the gleaming glass as
Woeful investors watch indices.
Valuations vanish in a gory grove.
Now senses shall spring where
cement once stayed. Back
home the juice corner introduced
a new flavor, sheikh shake.
Imagination mixed with your creativity is a very interesting combination! Entertaining and fun to read! Makes one really think. DC
'Now senses shall spring where cement once stayed. Back home the juice corner introduced a new flavor, sheikh shake. ' Great write Nikunj.....with Sheikhs shaking and cactii reflecting in the glass buildings that have replaced the sandy desert tracks...very imaginative indeed..
This piece is interesting one cannot but love to read it the more. Keep it up.
your satire is so subtle...it does not make fun of anyone...it makes one to pause and think.....the flavor is fresh like the Sheikh Shake.good work Nikunj...just keep writing.
Your grace in presentation of a visit to the dentist and reflections with imaginative ease is conspicuous. Thanks. janani
Subtle sarcasm works well here. Nicely thought out, flows smoothly. Well done!
