NPCS celebrated National Poetry Day with creative writing sessions and Performances under the Pagoda .  It was a wet day and suited this year’s theme of Water.

The calm, shimmering boat

Travels down the dirty,

desolate canal.

Tragedy strikes!

Poseidon,  the sea king,

Is taking over the boat –

Thrashing this way and that

Trying to take over

But it will never happen.

The currents

Sweep the boat

Into a whirlpool…

The golden sun glistens

On the

Clear reservoir of water

as the boat bobbs on.

The purity of the water

finally creates a calm as the boat

recovers from its latest

trauma.
