The Oscar Poem by Jaishree Nair

The red carpet rolled out
The stars like diamonds sparkling...
Groomed and polished- looking their best
Excitement building to a feverish pitch...

The Dolby theatre ablaze with Constellations various...
The most awaited moments for the talented ones...
The seed of desire blossoming
to take home the eight and a half pound great lady...

The highest honour in the film industry
The Oscar to receive
The luck of the gifted
The talented of the talented...

The exclusive back stage tour,
The curtain raiser showcased
twenty four sealed envelopes
awaiting the moment of declarations...

The audience with bated breath,
Praying for their favourite ones,
Tears of triumph...
Tears of disappointment...

All in full swing...
The blinding flashes capturing seconds
of the eighty eighth Oscar awards
This glamorous showbiz
a visual treat
Every year to look forward to...!
