The Sundown In My Village Poem by Valsa George

What a nice illustration.would love to know name of that kerala village!

Along with you I too drank that gorgeous grace and glowed. Wonderful description of the sundown.I liked it.Thanks and best wishes.

A great insight to life in Asian countries, the last line was fantastic.a wonderful write.

It is heartening to know that such villages are around us. In spite of the excesses 'growth' has made in our habitats, a strange blend of things we fondle and cherish for ever happens! The poem is a reminder of Kamaladas' themes that smelt the power of thoughts personal and pioneering into the life of others.Ms Valsa, you have written one more excellent piece.

With strings of Jasmine tucked to their hair women sing with emotion and village scene is always painted in mind. Gorgeous grace glows more towards light of reflection. This is an excellent poem very well penned.10

Classic poem of a time and a place and the characters that bring it to life, gorgeous, evocative write!

Valsa, this poem is beyond my description, I followed it line by line and I lived through it like as if I was there. So beautiful and serene. Thanks.

Drunk in that gorgeous grace, I, into a luminous glowworm turned! .......When a poetess turnsin a glowworm, the earth becomes a reflection of skies
