Suraj Kishore Raja

As I start writing this poem,

I am transported into a world of
Mesmerizing Music as mellifluous as birds chirping,

Noteworthy nature as breath-taking as a fairy wren’s feather,

Tall tradition as symbolic as an eagle,

And memories to cherish forever.

We started on a tour,
To vibrant, modest, tiny Kodaganallur.

Gorgeous days started with a walk through the countryside,
The enchanting farm reminded us the food they provide.

The food that we enjoy every day,
A farmer’s hard-work for 90 days.

Every time the winds silently passed by,
The plants swayed likegentle waves, as they captured our eye.

An opportunity to sing in temples came as a splendid surprise,
I would never have thought of this delightfulprize.

Ancient, celestial temples to visit.
Stunning Sculptures and Musical Pillars calling us to revisit.

Holy TamiraparaniRiver gladly swept across the joyful village,
Giving the diligent people a vantage.

A dip in the appealing river,
A charismatic experience that couldn’t be any better.

A music practice session in the majestic river,
A lifetime opportunity forever.

Having cat-walking peacocks as my walking partner,
Made my heart leap and flutter like a helicopter.

Feeding the peacocks was a merry event,
The best part of marvelous holidays spent.

With this, we concluded our incredible tour,
Having spent time with large–hearted people in Kodaganallur.
