Folk Dances. Poem by Gangadharan nair Pulingat..

Dance forms of indigenous people
The simplicity of dance forms
The peculiar steps and movements
Part of folk dance we respects.

The people hard working for a living
In leisure times they opts happiness
Slowly formed their own dance forms
Together with the songs and sounds
Folklore culture a great event of humans.

Dance forms of indigenous people
Their prayers to the departed souls
To the hill gods they worships
Solemnity of beliefs, requests for boons
To keep away evils, and to get prosperity.

Dance forms in groups by women
Steady steps, in circles and lines
Performance with background drums
The Bamboo equipment and wild appliances
Wonderful images they creates in arts.

A proud heritage of folk dances
Every country may be there to boast
India has many folk dances
Always makes their performance well.

Folk arts and dance forms slowly fades
The modern art forms tries to swallow
Still in mind feels as a heritage art
Requiring all round inspiration and help.
