The Shy Girl Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

The shy girl
Friday,7th February 2020,2220 p.m.

"You look so shy"
and never try
to look up and respond
you look like golden fish in the pond

my mother used to tease
and advise listen to her advice
at the same says" never compromise"
and surprise everybody

I look down and give no reply
it was gently way of plying
i wanted everybody to know
they can't blow their tune this way

I knew the behavior pattern
but showed no concern
I was shying but defying too
no one could say anything to me

I want dance around peacock
like peahen and rock
everybody to see me dancing freely
it was giving me immense joy daily
