Sonnet: India’s Olympic Gold In 108 Years! Poem by Dr John Celes

From fourth, he forged ahead to win the gold!
He never knew, he would create history;
His golden finger was precise and bold;
His mind was clear, full of tranquility!

This was Abhinav Bindra at his best,
At Beijing’s Air-Rifle shooting this year
–An example for Indians for gold-quest;
The Chandigarh hero is now too dear!

Bespectacled lad in early twenties;
His thrill in life was indescribable;
His calm, composure won him gold with ease;
His final shot was perfectly able.

India’s hunt for gold-medals is now on;
Bindra heralded new Olympic dawn!

Fondly dedicated to the Indian Olympic hero
