Through chinks in roman blinds, I wake and see
Its dawn, stretch out my hand for the remote;
Switch off air conditioner, jarring sound
Drowned the musical notes of flitting birds,
And the song of first pre monsoon showers
All summer, I had waited and longed to hear.
Languorously inhaled the soft fragrance
Of the now wet earth, that stirred up per chance
A longing for you; just then mobile rings,
I laughed out loud and said, great timing!
Perplexed, you asked, tell me, what I did now.
Oh, you just caught me red handed, somehow…
After a shower, hair wrapped in a towel,
Stepped into the kitchen, to make waffles.
Your parting shot, woman- a mystery
Tickled, I quite relished my coquetry.
A picture perfect dawn...to start the day! ! ! Lucky you....i must say! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Hi Mamta, you have just created an extraordinary piece out of an ordinary crack of dawn routine...10+++

Poetry lies hidden in our daily existence which we take rather casually and for granted. The poet's tender touch raise them to eloquent and lyrical heights! 10! -Raj Nandy
