Oh dear…didnt this one show up on the reader ???? 😉 😉
Anyway, first S has gone out. 🙂 🙂 😛 😛 Then, I was busy the whole day with Navrathri, visiting ppl and eating sundal, I am catching up on posts now…might be busy tomorrow tooo…. 😉
A high net is right. Any other place ????? Think, think……
Me ,
tossing ,
lobbing
tennis balls
in my backyard court,
and they,
like favorite aunts,
peering,
brushing a palm fringe
across their faces,
shaking heads
in the breeze,
occasionally bending
to see
what the older ones were thinking,
and then,
a sweet coconut
my reward
for a wonderful shot……
No house now,
but a tennis club,
and
the old trees,
now bent
with age,
non plussed
by
the champion kids
hitting
strong and fast,
an occasional shot
going straight
into the sea,
sometimes into other lands
with the speed of thought….
A high net
to keep
the shots in.
And the Amma tree
nudges
the Patti tree,
draws its palm fringed pallu
across the shoulder
and says,
“Aiyyo,
Is this cricket,
that you must
have
high fences
between
us and the players ?”
***Gives a bow of admiration*** Suranga, every time u come up with a poem for WW, I become Wordless and totally spellbound, by your imagination of the picture. 🙂 🙂
Thank you. Waiting for your WW has almost become a game 🙂 ….Its so much fun…. But sometimes I wonder if this place is some political bigwigs palatial residence on the beach in Chennai ? Curious to know what it is …..
Suranga, am glad to know that my pics make an impact on the poetess…. 🙂 BTW, this is at a Golf Course, in Chennai….its a small, artificial one…so the nets, but the place is damn beautiful. 🙂
Beautiful silhouette!! And the branches of the tree are so intricately taken! Great work!
Is this that golf club cum resort on OMR? I remember seeing it around there !!
