CHALICE - a sneak preview to my forthcoming book (evolving manuscript), CANVASSING ART contd.

By V. Shruti Devi (quill-o-the-wisp)

CHALICE (written as a sonnet)

An evening drive, a reservoir’s a draw

Picture-perfect hillsides, hamlets tranquil

Sunset, flint-stones, boat-rides, houses of straw

Migratory geese, snail shells, photos to fill

 

Soundless waters, smoky abodes afar

Woodland ripples in the lake and the sky

Stillness, silence, clear air, quarries a scar

Almost pristine, weeds make bouquets -no why

 

Return to write, record the eve’s pink glow

Sipping from an earthen tea mug, pond-bath

In art, crystal lines are set to follow

trends of enchantment, rare golden star-paths

 

What’s seen, what’s heard, what’s done by human minds

Sometimes appears more fab in close rewinds


-By V. Shruti Devi
