Tell me, am I not beautiful?
Not for nothing
do they call me
the Queen of the Desert.
The Pushkar fair
… is when
us ladies
are at our best.
Heavily lidded
kajolled eyes,
lashes delicate
and floating;
eyebrows are not
in fashion
anymore,
but like your
society types,
with multi-pierced ears,
I had my nose
specially pierced,
to display
my gold heirloom noserings.
A regular regime
of
Fair and Lovely
and L’oreal Paris,
and I am ready
for
interacting
with Lovely folks
at the Fair.
Special neckwear,
brilliant nostrilwear,
a sand facial,
to get even fairer,
and I’ve been
practicing
the pout…
Did I just hear someone say,
“Angelina Jolie
Eat your heart out !…”
This post is from Suranga Daté who blogs at Strewn Ashes. Anything I say about Suranga would be an understatement. She is an extremely talented woman. She travels on a broom and has a magical wand of words. Show her a photo, situation or something similar, she does wonders to it. She wrote this beautiful poem instantly when she saw this photo of pouting camel. 😀
