August Allure
August heralds celebrations and ceremonies
Independence Day ,Raakhi, Teej and others, many
A time for reverence and religious sentiments
Also fun, fervour and frolic moments
For the God loving, a month of prayer, purity and penance
For patriots, celebrating Freedom, National fervour with reverence
Paying obeisance to freedom fighters
Honouring Educationists, Statesmen and Administrators
Whatever be the expression of its parlance
There's a spirit of excitement and exuberance
And of course Friendship day for you and me too
Keeping the bonds going strong through 'Bands' anew.
Girlfriends Day, Beer Day, Book Lovers Day and Lazy Day also
And a host of other funny days lined up with pomp and show
Above all, the monsoon magic casts a spell of spills
Pouring melodies of romance and celebration thrills.
The world just looking awash and bright
Green and vibrant, full of bounce and sprite
Ready for August company if you like for a while
Or read, write and recite in any manner or style
Bonhomie, spirituality and bonding charm at its best ,
Sing ,dance or make merry in any form with zest
August augurs emotions beautiful to play and strike,
A balance with mother nature and also self alike.
You can choose to be in August company if you like
Or spend time building memories for nostalgic types
Whatever you do let sanity and reason prevail
Not allowing our senses to crash or derail
Trying to build up a spirit of unity in diversity
The cultural cauldron striving to keep up, it's sanctity.
