Rolling on the velvety green of the lawn
I breathe in its sweet fragrance…
The grass bend courteously beneath my weight
Gleefully springing back as I move away
They tickle my neck,
Mischievously jab at bare arms
Peep intrusively into nostrils
Play hide and seek around my ears…
Curious, they await my eyes to get closer
To explore its fathomless mysteries…
Swiftly, I down the twin shutters
Sorry, no-entry for inquisitive grass.

The intruders like Martian spies
try to get in through your eyes
do they know that it is not so wise
for even if they make umpteen tries
they are sure to be cut to size.
Shail said:
@Govind,
Lol, how true! 🙂 You put it rather well (as usual)!

The naughty grass green ,
spread for the “poetry queen” ,
so that she may feel the touch of velvet
and dish out a fresh word gourmet .
( I got so inspired by your writing)
