Poem by Shreyaa Tandel

How to draw a cloud


The air bereft a voice 

Drew something 

A few only paid heed to

It curved a line 

It pushed a shade

A bit here

And a slight bit there

It played with the little painting; 

Making it a veil to its beloved,

Scarred; moon

It pushed the shade and curved a cloud

Differently 

It took of the veil making the moon naked

All in all its glory 

They played a hide n seek perhaps 

That babies play and laugh

Be bemused and giggle at

While a red and an off white blinking light

Said its tiny monologue and flew to another paintings 

Never leaving the air

But afar from the moon..

It happened so everyday 

Sometimes days only alternative
