4) Response Poem: on Chandni Chowk, Delhi

At Appu Ghar, Delhi


Chilled winters filled with

Thrills

Played with Snow, in Delhi wearing pink

Frills

Summer holidays brought

Chills

Danced in the hot rays with rain

Spills

Picnics to the Appu Ghar were magical

Drills


Swallowed these memories
With some bitter city currencies


Rage of the sun pierces the city
Even that blueline metro feels pity


This tongue has turned  parched
Those memories have starched


Wash away the city it is covered with stains
Wash away its old pain whenever it rains.


-Preeti
