Ravivarma's Orchestra Poem by ratnaprabha raykar

Ravi varma's orchestra

A beautiful portrait of lovely ladies
hangs in front of me in my workplace
gazing at them i often wonder- -
Where, where have we come from
being them? ?

Bejewelled, bedecked, beautified
- -an epitome of adornment
coy, silent.demure.humble
Hope reflecting in their eyes
urging for acceptance
yearning for appreciation

Ah! ! Today's women!
bold attentive well versed
dauntless in her approach
steel in her resolve

working forward in sync
with consort
shouldering onus equally with grace
Ratnaprabha R Raykar
