Highway Snippets: She Slaps Me A Kiss Poem by Pradip Chattopadhyay

Heat holds stubborn
on the dreary day
till comes rain
and drives it away.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Every cloud has a silver line
we beat the cloud to reach sunshine.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

One cute hamlet far from town
catches eye
slows mind down.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Long stretch of green
water filled
here rained much
killed paddy field.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Chunks of cloud
loom overhead
color of summer
in rain will fade.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Leaps up dream in dancing beat
when touches soil
the weary feet.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

You never have a sweet word for me
I tease.

she slaps me a kiss.

Ends another glorious day
on the highway.
