Poetic musings are pleasantly interrupted by sparrows, the breeze, and the occassional sneeze.

Poem began on a sneeze,
Went Aaaaachoooo! A sparrow paused in flight
And almost said – Hello,
Before it flew on.

I remember
The heat thaw as the pomegranate
Let the breeze flit through chintz
Until it (the breeze and not the pomegranate)
Lost its head
Tickled my ear, tousled my hair,
Tickled my nose, tricked me again,
Even as I held my pen
And out came
A sudden Aaaaaachooo.
