Poetic Whispers Poem by Aniruddha Pathak

Amidst such traffic din and urban fears,
Here, whispering sweet nothings into ears—
A whisper of poetic fare
Amidst acrid polluted air!

Hoping to spread poetic bliss,
Poetique and Prakriti it is,
To induce a slow down thru art
O of City's fast beating heart!

And how they hope to achieve this?
Well, thru silence and a slow pace,
By creating harmonious space,
Amidst tumult, what cities miss!

Harmony? I still miss this point
Unless they have a magic wand,
Sure, they'll create a tranquil pond
Ah thru poetic counterpoint!

Whatever that may mean,
But such is world poetic scene!
The spirit ah of wafting Time,
You lose if ye miss its new rhyme.

Not just the life and living in urban space, even the world poetic scene seems in turmoil. A French group comprising comedians, writers/poets, artists, and singers, calling themselves Poetiques, and collaborating with Prakriti of Chennai, are coming over to Bangalore. In a unique project, they will whisper poetic lines/verses along with mime and mimic (now, hold your breath)to create harmony and peace among people here.
Now, if you fail to understand it, it is your loss.
