Street Lights Poem by Anil Kumar Panda

Simmering lights staring at the sky
As after a drizzle clouds towards
The horizon fly
Simmering lights wake up to the
Fall of evening when sun rays
Go pale and die

Simmering lights that brighten up
The streets with heads bowing
Down to roads
Simmering lights show way to the
Passersby and snakes, worms, ants,
Moths and toads

Simmering lights close eyes with
Sight of fluttering wings and cold
Grasses on lawns
Simmering lights from poles pull
Up the black shroud to the sound
Of mills and horns
