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
