Saree Poem by Jaishree Nair

Saree

Rating: 5.0


Saree- a traditional Indian attire;
to enhance fragility and femininity at its best;
for the sexiest form of homo sapiens!
Yards of soft woven thread-
delicate and intricately designed-
to do justice to graceful swans.

Compliments their structure stately;
Defines the feminine curves fine;
Subtle seductivity its feature-
Soft expensive silks
salient in elegance for the rich;
Colourful expressive cotton -
to emphasis moods various;
Polyester for the poor economy.

Highlights the innocent shyness
in a comely village girl,
Sensually provocative in a society lady,
Clad in red -the docile Indian bride,
White for mourners silent,
The style various with subtle
difference to grace all occasions.

Careful carelessness in its draping
creates visions vivid!
Intrigued by its obvious mystery
Men have declared -
Saree-The sexiest of all costumes! !

It is nice poem, but If dhoti has gone too far, then why sari has not, you have nicely put up idea of fusion of past, present and future of culture through sari
