A Birth Day Celebration Poem by Indira Renganathan

What it means..
Life is dead by one more year
or
Celebrating
The revisit of the birth date
With no resolutions


Born today a baby
That knows not that
Today is its birth day
Surrounding folks celebrate much

Cakes and chocolates
Highlight
The subsequent years
Partying customarily


A horde
Of friends and relatives
A man sixty
Amid much elation
By rituals
Atones first for his so far sins
While in wait his wife
For the sacred knot next

He repeats this
Turned eighty too
May be more sins, more fear
More like a little girl
Wife aka grandma accepts her
Wedding knot by him
Third time by chance of luck

Counting is
An invitee's
Ennui

What it means..
