On Snore and Snail

      On   Snore  and  snail

It is  a  midway   between  City and  Town
and  Hamlet.  A peculiar  time  for  celebrations:
Father’s Day, Mother’s Day, Martyr’s  Day,
Children’s  Day, All go well in their
well   set cuisine. Hassel free.

Blissful  eventide  falls,
Poet  carefully  sits  and types
On  Karma’s plight;
A  prolonged   snoring
dismantling   all our Peace.

This   loud, snoring  ringing and  rhythmic
at  breathed  intervals, a  disturbance
in the  room  for  the inmates.
But,  for  the persona,  a blissful
Sleep, poly vocalic language.

A child  claps  at  the sudden ,
Clasps   at  the   pillows   and
Bedspreads    and    colorful
 Sheets   strewn, some piled up.
Snoring  amidst  coir  sponge.

Yonder, on the clipped lawn,
Snail, seeks  to  maintain  its  ( celerity).
A linguist perhaps would clap
to beat  in tune with the rhythmic
Syllable count of snore  and  snail.
