Diwali

*******

Bhoot Chaturdashee

The night of the banshee

Amidst glittery brightness

Superstitious noose tightens


Munching on choddo shag

Though tummies squeal

And the tastebuds appeal

No respite from the eve


Said they the spirits

Wander forlorn amidst

Their loved ones

To see how they're faring

Pray & they'll stop roaring


Hallows Eve is a week away

Wonder what almanacs say

Tonight is for happiness

Night of wonderful togetherness

A night to forget bitterness
