slipping and sliding
down the memory lane
snatching a rose
from the garden
putting one in my hair
giving myself
in the hands of time
rapidly rewind
I'm dreaming summer.

Dreaming summer in India has a smoldering effect... on body and mide... it ignites thousand lamps.
Excellent poetry and picture.

Rain soaked housewives

Such a nice reminder of many things ... in high school, my senior year, I wore a rose to school every day. Now I look back and think what a nice way to make me feel special. Now, summer reminds me I am FREE!!!

Wonderful!
William Dotani May 17, 2009, 3:54pm EDT
Skipping along merrily your verse takes us. Love the calm in your words.
donna h. May 18, 2009, 5:25am EDT
very nice Bhawana
John F Walter May 23, 2009, 5:52pm EDT

Lovely lyric accompanied by delightful image of the musing girl to perfectly convey the act of deliberate reminiscence.
William Dotani Jun 1, 2009, 2:38am EDT

I reread this. Theverse seems to have a touch of melancholy that yearns for a past feeling to again come, although times have changed. I thought the illustration played well on this theme.
Alison H. Jun 3, 2009, 6:01pm EDT

Lovely poem...the coming of summer does summon up memories.
William Dotani Jun 6, 2009, 1:30pm EDT

Yes, it is a lovely poem.
Beth G. Jun 6, 2009, 1:32pm EDT
