Green Marriage Poem by Asit Kumar Sanyal

She was from elite class
but a nature lover
she vowed for green marriage
made invitation card
by eco-friendly recycled paper
designed food menu fully vegetarian
used no milk or milk-products
like ghee or curd
Instead...
went for coconut water, soya milk
she replaced plastic cups
by steel glasses
and plates by melamine cutlery
venue decorated with flowers
made of paper
gave all invited guests
saplings of plants
sandalwood, teak, shaal, mehoginy and neem
as return gift
and opted Andaman for honey-moon
