In an inspiration from the esteemed poetess SAROJINI NAIDU from her famous poem ” THE BANGLE SELLERS ” , I have tried to relive the emotions.
: BANGLE SELLERS WHO FASCINATE
Bangle sellers are we who bears ,
With a zealous squeal to rampant desires.
Sanctiloquent cheers that a salubrious heart chant ,
For the tender hands who cradle the baby to enchant.
Epaulet , waistband , jhoomars and earrings ,
Near an edifice would cogitate while you are exploring.
Colours of life that emboss your sweat ,
In Vegas gold , crimson and pink with an unfettered barette.
Sitting in this scorching heat we yell,
To welcome the visitors in this temple .
Never fear of colours to welt ,
These glasses are the dignity of maidens.
With emphatic cheer the farmerette will wear ,
In her sinewy wrists that define her flare.
In wanton concord the aristocracy will validate the grace ,
The zamindar would beckon to a vainglory for his wife in a chase.
The night will glorify the hope of those ebullient sisters ,
Who wait for their brothers to return from warfronts with love of splinklers.
Those maidens will cradle a diffident smile in a whisper ,
From a sequestration they will blush at the sound of the red bangles in their prayers.
