springtime in poetry-land


springtime in poetry-land

the poetry-cart
enters the lazy township of words
on wheels of time
scattered, sleepy words
strangers to each other

poetry coaxes, cajoles
and befriends them

a touch of magic!

capricious words wake up
from dreams
turn decisive and traverse
the invisible walls of distance
to converge at a happy reunion
“allow us a voice” they say
and join the train of reflections

poetry pens new desires
and melodies of the soul
on a fresh page of thoughts
the township rejoices
in the spring-time harvest
of nascent poems
the poetry-cart becomes a caravan.
