Raindrops on the roof,
A clink of the gate;
Cries of a little bird
Every morning at eight...
The tweets of a Sparrow,
The squeaks of a Squirrel;
The rustle of leaves
In the early morning breeze...
The rain-lashed ground,
Ripe fruits in the trees;
The caws of the Crow,
The buzz of the bees...
Flowers of all colour,
Medicinal plants;
The swaying green cover
Of Coconut trees...
A cough of a rickshaw,
Women selling fish;
Squeals of the kids
Splashing mud in the streets...
The growl of the scooter
Coming up the drive;
Friends across walls
Catching up on life...
The place of my childhood,
The home of my dreams;
I miss the place!
Oh, how I miss the place...
Nostalgia is a very powerful thing, it can give you solace and it can give you melancholy :) Your poem made me nostalgic for my native town too.. It's quite a beautiful place.
