A Boosting Effect Of Festival! Poem by Ramesh T A

Colourful bonfires and sound of crackers fill the town!
With new dresses and smiling faces people say greetings
of joy, peace and prosperity to each and every friend!

All have a wonderful time this year to celebrate lights festival!
Despite inflation, monsoon failure and droughts they smile
With the hope that evils will fly away by burning crackers!

Spiral nebulae and boosting volcanic sparklers rent up the air
Making living day lights in the dark of night everywhere
And inspire kids, men and women and old people with joy!

Giving sweets to friends and neighbours exchange greetings;
Smiles, laughter and joyful singing and dancing make all
Enthusiastic, zealous and jubilant through out the day!

Festivals change the mood of melancholy to mirthfulness
Both rich and poor creating unity and integrity of mind again!
