SOAPY, a poem from Samita CHATTOPADHYAY.

I love

You love

They love

LOVE everywhere

Oops !

Suds !

Soapy path

I slipped

Words are all sudsy

Love

Love

Lovey-dovey

No, it is not LOVE,

It is DOVE…

It is soap

And it is soapy

Fizz

Foam

Bubbles

Effervescence

Life is like that –

Bubbling spring

Full of ebullition –

Sparkling…

Glint

Gleam

And

Glimmer

But

It has froth

Foam

And

Scum

**

“Why rant ?”

No Anna,

I am not ranting…

But your eyes are…

But believe me,

I am not a back seat driver !
