Satchel Days Poem by Sanjay Mehta

Satchel Days



Making their way home
On days
Sun shining on tropic of cancer
Satchel, on their backs
Sweat on their brow
Thirst in their tongues
Appetite far flung
Jumping and shouting
Against all these odds
Waiving at the vehicles that pass
And a gentle response from the onlookers in vehicles
Shows no bounds of their joy

the title is eye-catching, and the theme justifies the title...a kind of a juvenile poem, beautiful!

The carefree days of school going life with all snags forgotten, kicking the dust and moving on! ! Brings in a train of nostalgic memories! !
