Carrying a Novel
My friend carries a Novel
When he visits a market.
"It is hilarious," said someone.
"It is creative," another replied.
My friend says he needs stories.
I say stories are around us.
The market filled with air of spices
Becomes an imagery to
Include the taste of opinion.
It sets its sun
In the vast area
Where social bells ring
For every start and ends
With some watery impression
For a parched throat.
The Novel to be written
Will have its own spices
When the tasteless day yawns
And sleeps.
The Novel will be
Voraciously carried by many
When they read its taste.
