Red Pretty Chappals - A Poems Inspired By Kumarmani Mahakul's Poem: Red Pretty Slippers

Rating: 5.0


You wrote a poem on red chappals
thanks a million, my chappals are famous now
everybody likes my chappals
everybody's buying chappals
only in red, not yellow, blue or green,

They say red chappals bring luck -
old spinsters find husbands
girls find boy friends
poor become rich
idiots become wise
unholy, holy
ordinary, extra ordinary
morons become charming
they start writing poetry
only when they wear red chappals

Long live red chappals
Long live poetry of red chappals.

***

Note: Chappals is a Hindustani word for slippers
for Indians in India and elsewhere.

See a photo of red chappals at Kumarmani's posting.
A pair of them is priced US 50 cents for new
and 10 cents for old in pretty good condition.
You can find chappals at your local stores where
Red Pretty Slippers are sold. Not yet on amazon.com.
Unfortunately, the owner who is a long time spinster
did not have good luck wearing them for a few days! :)

Previously I was unknown that you wore red chappals. I was having no idea at all about you. I wrote this poem watching red slippers of my wife lying on floor which she uses at home frequently. Slippers do not live for long. On daily use these gradually decay. These remain in memory. While old slippers decay we bring new. But you have amazingly perceived these. Let them long live in poetry. They are very useful too.We perceive extra ordinary charm from ordinary things. You have brilliant poetic skill to answer poems of other poets. Your comment is an amazing poem. ..10
