White House Poem by Pradip Chattopadhyay

White House

Rating: 5.0


Knowing couldn't resist the autumn light
playing on walls the shorter days
painted my house with only white
to forget coming winter's gloomy gray!

Now the cotton clouds cannot stay aloof
when burnt at heart by the summer's pain
break the flight to pause on the white roof
pour a tear two as the falling rain!

Now the sky a little more dazzles blue
lavishly spreads her wares colors glut
moon spins the night in her magic brew
when rises pompous behind areca-nut!

So you know given them good reasons
the winds to weave dreams for weary night
play on walls between rests all seasons
loving that I painted house only white!

On a white surface when shadows fall, they stand out and it is a beautiful sight! Nice that you painted your house all white! Enjoyed!
